There's an issue with some templates for Joomla 1.5, especially those orginally created for Joomla 1.0.x and adapted to 1.5 (in particular, I encountered this with siteground-j15-43). In this problem, when a person registers, there will be no confirmation message displayed telling them to check their email and also no messages if they supply the wrong usr/pswd on login.
The problem is that Joomla 1.0.x displayed system messages in the content area (where articles and components display) automatically. However, in Joomla 1.5, system messages use their own area.
If you have a template that does not display system messages, you need to add the following line somewhere in the template:
<jdoc:include type="message" />
I recommend you place this either in the same div as the content tag, or above this div.
