Well, it's not just the menu, there's all sorts of links that don't differentiate between enabled or not. But if there's nowhere to register, it should be fairly obvious (and if you go to action=register it does give you a message about it)

Thing is, I don't know where such a warning would really go otherwise...

Hmmm good point, I just too a  nice long stare with registration disabled and not seeing a good place for such a message either. I just remember being annoyed in the past by having clicked the register button only to find out registration is disabled. It's not really a big deal though I suppose.

The login page just asks them to login (I also took away the 'please register' link from there too) - but I suppose I could add a message telling them that registration is disabled.

What I'm inclined to do is leave it how it is right now (without the extra hint) and see how people feel about it in a practical environment.
