Hi,

I just installed DNN 4.5.3

I added few new user profile attributes and made some as mandatory. There was a problem with one field (I set it up as a List but the list values were not setup)

When  a new user tried to register, the user could not choose any value from that list as there were no values in the list. Since it is designated as a mandatory field, the system was not allowing the user proceed firther without completing the profile.

I wanted to correct that situation by logging in as Host; in the previous versions, Host was not forced to complete any mandatory fields in the Profile. But in DNN 4.5.3, when I logged in Host, it first asked me to complete my registration Profile where that "problematic mandatory list" was also there. Since I could not select any value (as there were no values in the list), I as the Host also could not proceed further.

And there was no "Logout" link at the top; it was still showing "Register and Login" links. So, I had to close the browser and start a new session. This time I hads to go to another sub portal within the main portal as the host and come to this new sub portal (where the problem occurred) and corrected the problem with the mandatory attribute (list with proper values)

I thought this is a dangerous situation; In my humble opinion, Host should not be constrained in any way to access any page and make necessary changes.

Is there any solution to fix this problem?
