It has to be off. It is enabled on your server.

You can use .htaccess to turn them off if you're on a shared server.

umm tried disabling it in .htaccess but it generates a server 500 error, maybe a prob with server,

thanks guys!

umm the host came back and said

htaccess only allows you to use frontpage, mod_rewrite and do url security. Unfortunately it doesn't allow anything else.

does this mean i may have a problem using the new version of phpbb?

Thanks!

php_value register_globals setting in .htaccess doesn't always work. It depends on your server config.

will this stop me from using the new version of phpbb do u think?

It shouldn't as phpBB unsets all variables that might have been set with register globals anyway.

phpBB3 will no longer allow the register_globals setting to be turned on. register_globals is a potentially insecure configuration setting, for more information see http://www.php.net/manual/en/security.globals.php. So you will have to ask your hoster to turn register_globals off if it is enabled and you cannot overwrite the setting with a .htaccess file as explained above.

Hehe. Nice idea. Well the funny thing with me is that my register_globals are off global and locally as the phpinfo says however phpbb still thinks it's on. Well. I will see that the future brings ^^.
