I am aware this is not a new problem, but none of the solutions presented in this thread:

or this one:

...have worked for me. I am hoping someone can either:
A) Comment on what I have done wrong with the suggested solutions
B) Provide another solution to try
or
C) Tell me how I can at least hide the register link so that people will not click on it and be confused, but so that verified registration for the site will still be possible (I have added a link on the homepage that goes directly to a working registration page)
The basic problem is that, when a non-logged-in user clicks on the "Register" link at the top of any site page, they are not directed to a registration page. Instead, they get something in the URL that looks like this: http://www.mywebsite.com/#
And the homepage is displayed.
I am running DNN 5.04.01 with a Digiworks skin. User Registration is set to "Verified."
These are the things I have tried to fix the problem:
Set Registration Page in admin to "None Specified" - No effect
Set urlMapping in web.config to redirect "register.aspx" to "~/default.aspx?ctl=register" - No effect
Turn off browser detection for languages - No effect
Upload a page to root called "register.aspx" - No effect
Alter the "Friendly URL Settings" for .*Register.aspx(.*) to direct to the registration/profile page tab id - The first time I tried this, it had no effect. Now, when I try it again after upgrading my DNN version, the setting simply doesn't stick, so I can't really test it
Browser cookies and cache have been cleared in between testing each fix.
Thanks to anyone who can offer any additional input on correcting or working around this issue.
