Forum URL: crimsonmu.proboards33.comMust users validate thier account? I wish to change this option. I believe users are put off having to go out of thier way to validate / activate thier account. I wish for the users to lgoin stright after registration. Is this possible? I couldn't find an option. Please consider adding this as an option.

Its not any differnt to the places that send the user a random password, just this way the email address is verified and they get the password they want, its actully a winner compared to other services

Not to mention that the mass email feature would never work if any of the email addresses were invalid, so the current system guarantees that it always will.

some lazy users won't bother entering If they have to activate thier account.
(I have done it.)
And can't you just add the option to do it?
Those who want heaps of security can keep the option set how it is.

Those who want heaps of security can keep the option set how it is. The thing is, we need to verify it for our own security. We need to know that each user is using a valid email address.

It's not possible at this time in any case. You can suggest it once the Suggestions board opens back up. Without the activation you'd probably get a lot of members joining just to look around, then leaving, and thus a lot of inactive members and useless accounts. This is bad for ProBoards because it means more user info to store in their databases and slower queries to that database.

It would either be password sent or activation code.

That's how it was in PBv3, but no one liked it. The randomly generated password looked just as ugly, and the activation code is just a one-time thing.

Yeah. But because people have to make sure that they are at least 13 to be on ProBoards, seeing it is the law.

Because it has to do with validating the account.
