Im, finding a way if i can register users to my test forum. In testing my forum in localhost so there is no email activation. What can be done to resolve this issue. I've tried to register users but they still dont have permission to post because they are not yet activated
ACP >> Users & Groups find the user click on Options and then Activate User
Additionally you can either setup a mail server on your machine, or create the users from the ACP.
Admin CP -> Configuration -> Settings -> User Registration and Profile Options -> Registration Method -> Instant Activation
This will instantly activate all users and add them to the registered usergroup.
Greatly appreciate your answers... will try your suggested solutions and comment back...
