MyBB Community Forums

Is there a way to allow for members to "apply" to become a member of our forum, and have to be approved by an administrator before they can gain access? Any application out there that allows for this?

I'm not sure how this application would differ from the standard registration process. You may want to emphasize the differences more.

You can require all new registrations to be manually activated by an admin though (AdminCP -> Board Settings -> Change -> Registration Options).

You could change all of the lines with "register" in member.lang.php to say "apply" instead too. That while using the Admin approval would work better.

That won't work. It's for already registered members.

We are a private, closed-registration forum, but we want to take "applications" for future members. Thus, we want to be able to view the applications and approve them accordingly. That is what we are trying to set up.

Just set user activation method to admin activation like zinga said.

Thanks for all of your help. Here is exactly what we are desiring to be on the application. I know it's not like many other forums, but due to the growth of our site, we have to do it this way to make sure we are getting the most out of our members.
