In your admin panel go into "general settings" and where it says "limit registration" set that to YES.

Next time a guests registers they will need to be approved before they can start posting. To approve a member go to your admin panel. Look under "manage members" section and you'll see a link called "view pending accounts" thats where you go to approve the members. Keep in mind if there is no members to approve you will not see that "view pending accounts" link in there.

Next time create your own thread. PM me if you need further help if you dont want to create a thread on this. I pretty much explained it already.

When you set YES to limit registration you the admin will have to approve the members that are waiting to be approved. Or you can also give other staff members the power to approve members by editing there powers.

Anyways when this option is enabled and let's say i joined you forum and i need to be approved. Well as soon as you check in your admin panel under "manage members" you'll see a link called View pending Accounts. Click on that to see my name, email address..etc and approve my account. Then i'll recieve a email telling me i'm approved and can then login and post.
