View Full Version : Multiple Email Addresses per Account?

Currently vB 3.5x does not support multiple emails per account.
It has a routine that verifies the email is a valid email and if you add a second one separated by a semi-colon, vB announces that the email was invalid.

Does anyone know a workaround that would allow users to have more than one email address?

Check AdminCP->vBulletin Options->User Registration Options->Require Unique Email Addresses

Thanks for the suggestion. That would makes sense.

I disabled the 'Require Unique Email Addresses' setting but it still tells me that I have an invaild email address when I specify more than one email address.

Is this a feature that is supported? If so, am I using the wrong syntax to have more than one email?

I am using the format:
name1@domain.com; name2@domain.com

It always tells me that the email address is invalid.

This is a modification that I would pay for. The site I need this on is my company support site.

Ahh sorry then i misunderstood you.

No you can not enter multiple mail addresses.

However, if you want you could create a new User Profile Field for additional mail addresses.

The problem there is that I manage access to certain areas by the account. Creating multiple accounts would be troublesome for managing the access.

One other idea would be to add a user profile field for secondary email contact. I seem to remember a similar hack for vB 2.x.
The trouble here is to make the email notification send to both emails. That should be a pretty simple hack, though, right?
