How to get guests to confirm they're email before using my forum

[watty005]

Hi, is there an option built into vbulletin, without using any mods? Thanks

ACP --> Settings --> Options --> User Registration Options, set the setting Verify Email address in Registration to Yes.

If you set this option to 'Yes' new members will not be allowed to post messages until they visit a link that is sent to them in an email when they sign up.

If a user's account is not activated by the user visiting the link, it will remain in the 'Users Awaiting Activation' usergroup.
