Actually not true when we're talking about the Frontpage server extensions.

The problem is actually that the frontpage form component cannot be used in
conjunction with a confirmation page of any type (extension) other than .htm
or .html
Remove the SSI stuff from your confirmation/thankyou page and rename it
prov_dir_signup.html and it WILL work.
I had exactly the same problem and cured it by accident!
