Happened to me today while trying to view two different Report a Bug threads

Upon attempting to register an account, I received the same error as the OP. on three occassions

• I finally succeeded; It may have been have cookies were being blocked in Firefox (using the Cookie Monster extension for whitelisting) This seems to be a rather graceless fail for what must be a common problem so COULD it be due to non-alphanumeric symbols in the password ( "\' etc ) - initially, I generated random acceptable passwords through KeePass2 but I explicitly removed any potentially conflicting symbols for my successful attempt (Regretably, in retrospect, I also whitelisted session cookies for that attempt, so the test was inconclusive!)

The text of the error report was as follows:_

Server Error in '/' Application. Runtime Error Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".

<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration> <system.web> <customErrors mode="Off"/> </system.web> </configuration>

Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.

<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration> <system.web> <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/> </system.web> </configuration>

Good first post
