Ensure your username who is registering is lower-case; I’ve seen a few child themes that don’t display the appropiate warning message.
Tried that also to no avail. 
Ok! You rock! It was a conflict with the theme and the new upgrade. I went back to the default theme and it worked! Happy to throw ya a few $ via paypal if ya send me your info!
You can use Paul’s donate link for his Welcome Pack plugin:
https://buddypress.org/community/groups/welcome-pack/donate/
Right on, I will do that! Unfortunately, it came back!!!! I went back to the default theme. I was able to create a new account. I thought it was working, but checked again and it did the same thing!!! HELP!!!! Revised topic 1st post info also!
cant seem to post the codefrom the register.php for the submit section here, but shouldn’t the button say “Complete Sign Up” and not “Submit Query” like it does on the registration webpage?
Compare the register.php in your theme with the register.php with the one in the default theme and see what’s different.
If my son goes to bed nicely, I may add you on Yahoo before SYTYCD starts. Mostly cause I appreciate dance.
I am using the default theme right now… Feel free to give me shout anytime!
$50 starting offer for a fix… looking for an ongoing consultant as well!!!
I would start by disabling the plugins you’re using on the registration page.
You have at least three plugins running, a captcha, a math Q+A and a terms of use plugin. One of them could be the problem.
Also techguy’s suggestion is good. Revert the changes you made to register.php so it’s using the default one.
@r-a-y
I had him do the same. Still not working. I’m going to log in and see what else he has running that might be causing the problem. Seems like it happened since he upgraded to WP 3.0 and the latest BP. I think it must be a plugin of some sort that’s conflicting since it’s the default theme.
Ok, it was a plugin that was causing the problem. That’s the problem with having 30 plugins on a BP install. Now Scott just has to go through activating each one to find out which one is causing the problem. Should be interesting to see which one, because it wasn’t one of the sign up plugins mentioned above.
Special thanks to Techguy for helping me out! You rock! Where did ya go? Lost your chat window on my site when I was checking something! Come back!
Sorry. I closed the window on accident. Glad to help you out. This was the plugin which was causing problems: Transposh Translation Filter http://transposh.org/
Turns out it was an incompatibility issue with the plugin “Transposh Translation Filter”. I will contact the developer! Thank you!
Good work team
EDIT: Hey, @digitaldance – thanks very much for the paypal donation 
Thanks for all your help guys! I’m sure you will all see more of me! 
Check out the links now @techguy !
The links look good @digitaldance Thanks for adding them. Best of luck showing off your site.
I got ahold of the developer of the Transposh plugin. He noted an error in the script for register.php. Here is his response. I followed his instruction and it works again! This is a very impressive plugin! You can do this quick fix until the next buddypress update if you want his plugin!
From Transposh developer:
Found the bug in the buddypress theme
look at the file
wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/registration/register.php
Search for “Complete Sign Up”
See the missing space between the type and the name – add one!
Also reported upstream: https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2516
Wow, that causes a bug? Crazy 
This plugin doesn’t work for submit buttons! If you try to go to my web site http://www.higringo.com/register/ and try other languages the button doesn’t change. My wp_confing is setted with define (‘WPLANG’, ‘it_IT’) and the plugin have the default language in Italy. Some ideas?
