Self-registration does not seem to work.

We are trying out your software to support our new site. Things look great be we seem to have trouble with 'self-registration'

When a person clicks on the register button they get the message...

Self-registration is not allowed...

We have set the configuration to allow for anyone to register (or at least we think we have obviously something is wrong)

We have set 'Any anonymous surfer may apply' and to go further we have set 'Any surfer applying to this site will become a member (open community'

It does not seem we can any any more open...so what is going on?

Thanks in advance for your prompt reply...we can't wait to give this thing a real work out.

So can you tell us what we are doing wrong or a possible source for the problem?

Thanks,

Bernie
