I am shopping forums and have some questions. I was directed here by the com site.

The forum I will be setting up requires strict control of new user registration. Is there a way to generate unique one-use registration keys/codes? Even better if the unique code is associated with a specific email address.

Either that or is there a way to restrict registration to a list of email addresses?

Thanks,

Pancake

Not ure what you mean with the unique codes to be generated, but restricting the allowed email addresses is an easy task.

The best thing u could do is just moderate new members.

I think he is asking for the invite system things , or something like this so only the selected persons can join the board. If yes , then there is a invite system hack in vb mods , you can use it

Sorry, it looks like I left out a sentence or two.

Yes, I am looking for an invite system where the admin could be certain only specific users sign up. One way to do this is to have unique one-use codes that must be entered on registration. Another way would be have the forum only accept registrations from a list of known email addresses (which are then verified during sign in).

I realize you could just moderate new members to manually verify their email address but I am hoping there is another way that is a little more automated.

Happy new year!

Both methods you mentioned are achievable. The first one, however, I believe there is already a modification made.

I think you mean like a your user has to confirm the account via e-mail with a code of some sort? Like this... https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=162642
