We have a web site which uses the community builder user registration (CB configuration: Registration: Allow User Registration= Yes, Independent of CMS "allow registration")
The user registration worked with Joomla 3.7.5. After a while we had some problems to upgrade to Joomla 2.8.1 but finally we managed to upgrade it to 3.8.3. At the same time we have upgraded the multiple plugins of community builder like auto actions, activity, groupjive etc.
We tried to register a user in registration form but nothing happened, pressing a button does not do anything. We tried with Joomla 3.8.2 with the same results.
