Hi,
Does MyBB generate error logs? I'm attempting to diagnose some log-in problems and I'd like to view log-in/registration attempts/failures and account creation logs. In particular some users are seeing a "the user is not valid" error page.
I've found the Admin and Moderator Logs, but they don't show account creation/login activity.
Thanks for any pointers.
No there aren't any logs for front-end pages. Which page are your users seeing this error on? (Perhaps provide a link).

Thanks for the reply. The error is being generated from the Login page; other than that I can't be more specific.
The problem is being caused by interaction with the OpenID plug-in (available on this board) and some of the details being entered by the user in the openid auth request.
I suspect it's forbidden characters in a user name/email but I can't be sure without debug info.
If I want to add log output to a plug-in what is the best approach? (Log to the database?)
If it's a problem with the OpenID plugin you need to contact the author of the plugin.

It's definitely a problem with the plug-in.
I think the plug-in has been abandoned - it's certainly not complete. (Eg it is not possible for a user to change their email address if OpenID is enabled.)
So, I'm resigned to fixing it myself... I was wondering if there was already some default logging info that MyBB generates that I could review to diagnose; but I'll go hang out on your plug-in dev forum for some tips.
Thanks.
