Hello,

I want to set my forum so that accounts have to be activated by an Administrator. Under "Board Settings", I selected "Admin Activation", but I wasn't sure how I had to set the "Disable Registations" switch.

Does the board alert the Admins to an account in need of activation or do we just have to check regularly?

No, don't disable registrations, or people won't be able to register at all..... you can just check regularly, or there's a plugin to email you when someone registers.
Thanks, Matt. Where do I go to access plug-ins?
Many thanks. Smile
I found exactly what I need at that link. However .............

The instructions for installation are:

# Upload ./inc/plugins/seta.php into your ./inc/plugins/ folder
# Go to your PluginManager and Activate the "Send Email To Admin" Plugin.

I downloaded the zip file from the source and expanded it. I found the file and tried to upload it but in the process the file was renamed with "[1]" following the file name and it does not appear in my forum's Plug-in Manager window. I can't see a way of renaming the file within the UnlimitedMB file manager and I don't understand why it's renaming it.

I'm sure it must be something I'm doing wrong, but I don't have the knowledge or experience to see what. I would be very grateful if anyone could help me. (I don't have any FTP software at the moment.)

Ahhhh ... I found out how to rename the files and the plug-ins are now showing in the right place.

Many thanks for the help. I'm way outside my comfort zone. Smile
