From the look of it it sounds like an issue with the way the languages are configured in Joomla. Can you also try with the SEF turned off in your website ?

EDIT: the link looks like this: Thanks.")* Hi Nicolas, Thanks for getting back at me. I tried setting the SEO options off but didn't help. I searched a bit further and when I turned on the error reporting and only in Dutch I got the following message: Code: Warning: sprintf() [function.sprintf]: Too few arguments in ...../libraries/joomla/methods.php on line 320 So then I knew that it would be probably something in my language file. I copied the override section and pasted it in a text-editor and then emptied the override section of the language file and saved it. When I registered a user, it worked so I went back and started pasting back pieces of strings in the override. Now it seems to be working so I will mark this as solved!
