Dumb question, do you have a user with the name 'Unregistered' ?

It seems like something is modifying vB_Types. It should be available by default.

Another one to test. You?re a sedulous man, John ;)

:up:

I was running in the same problem Morrus did. In the meantime I?ve found out, that this error occurs when the max. length of usernames is set. Mine was set to 25 and resulted in the error message, that the username would be to long.

Somehow AGP&R seems to check the textbody in the replybox against the max. username length.

But to make it more complicated: I?ve changed the max. username length to 35 characters and you know what?! The bug is vanished. At least for the moment.
May be anyone can confirm this for his sites?

My ole man always told me "If you can?t understand it, behave like you would love it." Okay, he was talking about women in general. Guess until John comes up with a bugfix I?ll keep it that way ;)

Ah, that makes sense. I'll have to put in a fix for this. Didn't you start getting this error when you put in the translation? "Unregistered" is 12 characters and "Schwebende Registrierung" is 24 though.

That makes total sense, John, because my max. username length was set to 20, not 25 as I wrote first. And yes, it first occured after I?d translated the phrases :up:

(Mods, please delete this. Problem was caused by own modification - not related to this mod)

I haven't noticed that Marv, but it's possible it's happening. Does the user count correct when someone registers via the normal method?

As said, this problem was caused by an own mod, which had a little conflict with the WGO on forumhome.

But unfortunal, I have found another issue. I´ve set up AGP&R to post replies after e-mail is confirmed. That feature doesn´t work for me and the former guests have to post the reply again when they have become a member. The guest postings are visible in the moderation queue, but they don´t make it to auto-approved posts through AGP&R once the guest becomes a member.

Have you noticed that already?

does the thread/post still stay in the queue as 'unregistered'? Are you sure this isn't from members that accidentally posted when logged out? I have this happen from time to time and see that the member just forgot to log in.

That can't be it for me. Username length is set to 20, and as noted, Unregistered is only 12.

Do I also have to make any changes to Usergroup permissions to protect certain areas?

For example.... how would it deal with a situation where I have a section that only people who are in a certain usergroup can post to?

A normal everyday person who registers goes into a "Newbie" usergroup.

Once they get 1 post they move to a "members" usergroup

Once they get to 10 posts they move to a "contributor" usergroup.

Only this "contributor" usergroup can post in certain areas.

Will activating this mod still allow for this?

I wouldn't want a guest to post to this section until they get enough posts to allow for it.

So, does this mod negate any type of promotion and permission settings?

D.

Whoops.. sorry.. one more question.

Just making sure that any threads/posts by these people will stay in a moderation queue till the person successfully registers...

I don't want any members seeing posts till they are confirmed.

D.

This is a great idea. I am going to try this on a couple client forums after the holiday.

Has this been addressed as this is a key feature?

I guess no, but I haven´t investigated further. My sister had an accident and died, so I forgot about this one. May be john already has a fix for that.

What I would like to suggest is, to build in a honeypot-field for those spambots. AGP&R attracts them like a candle does with fireflies. Very hard for moderators and admins to look through the Whats new-list, as there are literally every day hundreds of spam-postings and that makes that list for them nearly unusable. The human verification vBulletin offers (and AGP&R is using) isn´t worth a thing. We use additional mods - like Spam hammer! - to keep the spammers out, but noone can expect, that John builts AGP&R to be compatbile with those. So I guess, implementing a simple honey-pot (hidden field that is only available in the source code and spambots usualy fill in like something named "your email") would be a good addition for filtering those spammers out.

BTW: merry christmas to all of you.

In description of what mod does is this:

So no, user couldn't make more than one post until registered (if feature works as it should).

Omg, I am so sorry about your sister!

Thanks for the reply.

Any idea how to get rid of the text show on the image verification?
