Hi,

I am migrating a phpBB forum because I am unable to prevent script kiddies from messing with my server.

I would like the the new user registration process to include a confirmation mail as in phpBB2. This stops someone from registering another person for example.

Cheers

In Admin Panel -> Configurations there are a property named "Requires user to authenticate email". Set it to "true" and then users.

However, if you want to prevent more than one record with the same email, JForum currently does not deny that.
