Email verification link NOT working

[Cloughie]

Hi, recently we had a few troublemakers making multiple accounts so I turned on this feature to at least make it as painfull as possible for them to creat mutliple accounts..

However I had a few emails from genuine people saying even though they did get the email and clicked the link (which took them to the forum logged in) they did not have permission to post...

I had set it up corectly I am sure..

I had email verification set to YES and Moderate members to NO...

They just remain in the "awaiting user verification" usergroup..

I tested this twice myself and got james US to sign up to and neither allowed us to post..

I really need to have this on and working..

Please help !

Did you disable it? Because I was able to register and post without getting any message about email activation.

[Cloughie]

yes I did..

I didn't want people registering and not being able to post..

Wait... Try again in a few mins and I will enable now he he

[Cloughie]

ok currently turned on..

Can you try again for me... pretty please ?

daaaaaaaammmmmmnnnnn I am one stupid.......... well just stupid lol..

I am running the forums on a new server so right now it is running on a redirect to the new ip.. Untill the dns is switched over I am guessing the email verification domain name link will not work huh ?

D'oh !
