MyBB Community Forums

Can MyBB be set up so that it e-mails you when there is a user awaiting activation? (I have it set up so that users require admin activation.) I've searched and couldn't find this.

Why even you want to sent activation emails when you have set up admin activation?

I would like for the forum software to notify me when there is a new user awaiting activation to minimize the time that new users have to wait before they can participate.

You would need to have a custom plugin developed AFAIK.

Basically, if I understand correctly, you want a email message sent to you whenever someone signs up so that you can activate them by admin activation.

Yes, Init, that is correct. I thought maybe I was missing a setting somewhere or overlooking a plug-in. Oh well.

To save you some money to get a custom plugin.. why not
1) restrict the registered user group on your forum from posting except for a moderate post forum...
2) setup an automatic usergroup upgrade to a unrestricted user group if a registered user makes one post
3) when you approve a post they'll be upgraded but if you don't approve they wont.
4) you'll be notified by MyBB when you have posts to moderate (sign in at least once a day).
5) set account activation method to verify by email address.

This does 2 things:
1) saves your money
2) verifies email addresses automatically.

Just an idea.. but it will work

That is a great idea - the new user can actually do something to participate in the forum right away instead of having to come back later. This should help the number of people who join and never post. It's better than what I wanted. Thanks!

This wont work for me unfortunately, my forums are mostly view only and private.
So.. I need a plugin then I guess.
If anyone knows one please advise.

Thanks

Been searching, looks like this does it:

@iss42.... just make most of all your forums except for the moderation forum private (not viewable by guests, awaiting activation, registered, and banned)! lol
It accomplishes the same thing.... and no plugin needed.
