user registration

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

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.

It was right down on the bottom... ops:

Now I have another problem - a user has registered since migration but he got the user id 8388607 instead of 65 this of course creates a stack trace when editing his profile. He is also given a ranking of Ranking: Site Admin ...

help

hhm.. hard to do any conclusions based on only this piece of information. Looks something with the database.... but, again, hard to say

Run the query like this:

UPDATE jforum_users SET user_active = '1';

note that it is '1' and not 1
