Does anyone know how to set up a conditional so that a message will display to users who have registered but not yet confirmed their registration with the confirmation email ?

The reason i would like to know if this is possible is because i have noticed that a lot of my users have not been posting - i have also realised that many confirmation emails are being bounced back to my email account due to over zealous spamming software.
There is a lot of users which would never recieve their confirmation email because of this and think the error is with my forum rather than their email client.

I want to put a message for these people to tell them that if they have not recieved their confirmation email to use another email address or email me so that i can confirm their registration manually.

[[($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==3)]] Show this announcement if page visitor is from email confirmation waiting usergroup[[/($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==3)]]

Thanks Logician, i will install this hack and test the conditional later today.

Works a treat Logician !
Try it yourself - www.hostcompanies.com/forums - register and then do not confirm by email - now login and your see the message explaining that the email may have been bounced. Obviously you can't post either. Now confirm the registration email and the message dissapears and everything works fine.

Brilliant !

I have recently had a lot of bounced emails from people trying to register because of their stupid spam software - thats one of the reasons why people sign up and never post. Atleast they now know its their email spam software which is the problem.

Your a star Logician... a star!

What is the code to add for custom fields? I added a location field and would like all my members to fill it in, can you give me the code to do so?

Thanks

correct thread?

Sorry logician, let me explain a bit more....

I want my members to show their location on post bits, and since i added this after i had about 100 members and before i made it a req. field a few are missing the info. But Its a custom field, and I want a pop-up to show for those members that don't have this filled in yet. Any curdentials i can add that will show this info?

Thanks

I see! This should help:

[[(!$bbuserinfo[fieldX])]] You haven't filled the location field yet! Please do so by following the link to your profile edit page. [[/(!$bbuserinfo[fieldX])]]

(X should be replaced by the profile field id of your location field.)

I can honestly say this is one of the most beneficial, easy, (should have been in the final vb3 release) hack sever. Very well done.

I have a PAY only site and this is exactly what I needed to give the site the locked door with info treatment

WELL DONE!!!!!
