Access denied when following initial login instructions

[cajunbill]

I just now registered and had problems with the login process after registering. Here is what happened:

I received the activation email and clicked on the link in it.  That brought up a page that said "Click HERE to log in instead of using the menu on the left".  But, when I clicked on the "HERE" link, I received an access denied error (403, I think).  After that I clicked on the Forum link and found that I was already logged in.  But I wonder how many folks have reached the error page and just gone away?

The likely cause is the SEF (Search Engine Friendly)  code messing up the redirection by making an invalid URL. This is an ongoing process to fix since this web application was not meant to be SEF. So far most of the links works fine, and some errors do popup like in your case. We appreciate you reporting it and it will be fixed as soon as possible. If you come across anymore please report those in too. Thank you.

SEF redirecting... Hummm smells like "cloaking" to me ;-)

On http://www.expertsrt.net/main/, in the body text there is a register link which goes to:

http://www.expertsrt.net/main/mambots/editors/tinymce/index.php?option=com_registration&task=register

That URL goes to a page which returns an error.

The page you are trying to access does not exist.
Please select a page from the main menu.

In the left menu, if you logout, there is a login and register link.  That register link goes to

http://www.expertsrt.net/main/forum/action,register/

which does seem to work as I just registered a test account and followed the activation link.
