I am regularly encountering the following error when users try register on one of my sites.
I also encounter it from time to time when tying to 'Edit text' in a module - Sometimes just by clicking on the 'Edit' link it actually does bring up the editor.

I am running a standard DNN 4.4.1 installation with SQL Server 2005. The only change I have made is installed the 'English(South Africa)' language pack and set this as the default once a user logs in. (The US date format in the forums was very confusing to local users here). The language pack updates the dates in the Forums to the correct format, but the 'What's new' roll bar at the bottom of the page still displays it in a non local time zone. I updated the web.config to use 'en-ZA' as the default culture.

Here is the error I get when there is a registration failure :

Also the site log makes use of the default date and time setting instead of the localized versions.

Has anybody else encountered this problem or have any advice for me.
It will be much appreciated

Thanks,
Deon

Hi,

Any news from the core team whether this issue will be addressed in the next release (4.4.5 ?)

Thanks,

this looks like an FreeTextBox issue, please note, that DNN 4.5.0 will switch default HTML-Editor to FCKEditor.

Cheers from Germany,
