Inactive Users / Forum Registration

Post by kyle.bowker »

We've received sporadic complaints over the past few months about users encountering errors during the forum registration process or not getting the system generated activation e-mails. A lot of usernames remain inactive and are never added to the "Registered Users" group. I don't know the root cause of the problem but I've noticed that it seems to primarily effect people who've already registered once before using the same e-mail address or username but forgot they had already had signed up once before. I'm hoping an update to the latest forum software will cure it. I tried doing the "automatic update package" the other night at 1am but an hour into the process the system crashed. I may have to do a fresh install rather than an update and re-install all of the forum modifications.

In the meantime, if you're having trouble signing up, please contact me at kyle.bowker [at] capitaldrivingclub.com and I'll fix it for you manually. We've had a lot of forum spammers in the past and I cannot tell from the inactive users list who is a legitimate registration and who is a spammer so I am reluctant to manually activate inactive users en masse without some sort of feedback from the effected user.

The list of inactive users as of this morning

I sent a reminder to all inactive users. Please contact us via e-mail if you continue to have difficulty registering. Be sure to include your forum username and e-mail address you used to register when contacting us. I'm hopeful that the recent update of the forum software will cure the problem where some new users were not automatically added to the Registered Users group.
