You didn't mention you where using the free web host 1 ASP Host.
They recently changed their servers so Web Wiz Forums will no longer
work on their servers by disabling allot of features of ASP.
This is the problem with free web hosts as they disable allot of things
as their free accounts are just to give you a taster and if you want to
use the more advanced features of ASP to be able to run things like
forums then they try to get you to upgrade to a paid account.
How else though do you think they will make money, it costs allot of
money to be a web host, so they won't give you everything for nothing.

I have having alot of "I can not get registered" issues myself. I do not think it is the server and cookies. I have tested and re-tested many times and each time worked as advertised. So should cookies be a concern (other than whether or not the user has them turned off on thier side). I think it is a combination of email types (AOL, Yahoo, Hotmail) and incorrect email address's placed in the registration form. I added in the reg. email the script sends to ensure the link is copied and pasted into a browser window. However is there anything we can do to have the user enter the email 2 times to double check the email address. Sort of like having to place the password in the system twice. I notice alot of systems are doing this now. Or another sugestion, allow a user that has not been verified, update settings so they can double check thier email address. Any thoughts on this issue? I know no matter what the scripts can do, human error will always come in to play.

I would ask them to fix thier system to my needs (even if it may cost some extra cash). and if they didn't I would be finding a new host. I hate it when a web host has hardly anything to offer in server side support or sets up their server so secure nothing can be done with it.

You didn't metion exactly why the user can not register.
Is it an error or are they not getting emails through?
Also you mention poeple with Yahoo, Hotmail, AOL, etc. addresses, these
types of email accounts get spammed allot and as a result they tend to
bounce back most emails that are generated by scripts on web sites.
The only solution is to ban these email addresses from signing up so
that the user is forced to use another email address, this way any
activation emails are more likely to get through.
