How to disable registration without subcription?

Hi again,
I just noticed while editing the styles of mydomain.com/wp-login.php?action=register that I am able to create a new registration here without paying a subscription via paypal!

The site only uses registration for subscribers, anyone else can use the site as a visitor without registration.

In wp admin > settings > Membership - Anyone can register
- the checkbox there is *not* checked;

and in wp admin > s2member > general options > Allow Open Registration? ( Free Subscribers )
I have chosen: 'No (Do NOT allow open registration)'

I have another site that uses s2member in exactly the same way, and trying to enter this url redirects to a message that says:
'User registration is currently not allowed' which is what I need to happen here too.

What else am I missing please?
Thanks for any help!

Hi Sam.

Were you logged in as the admin when you tried the registration form?

Hi Cristián,
no I wasn't. Have discovered that it's only happening in Chrome. In Firefox, IE & Safari; I get 'User registration is currently not allowed' - as I'd expect.
Checked my other site (with the same setup) in all browsers and am unable to register.
How can this be?!

Well that's even freakier...
Just tried again in Chrome and got 'User registration is currently not allowed', although had changed nothing in between.
What's going on?!

Don't know. Maybe a cache problem?

Anyway, I'm glad it's working properly for you now. :)
