I like this mod. But I do have a problem with it. Because it bypasses the usual registration options, all e-mails addresses or providers that I have banned over the years are not active anymore. It's not about the spam for me. It's about members I have chosen to delete rather than ban, who are using the same e-mail address to register again. It's also about people using "10 minute mail" addresses to register. Why would I want to encourage that ? If I need to send an e-mail to my forum members or some usergroups, my e-mail won't reach them ! So I have it installed, and I like the fact that I'm getting more members because of it, but ... it could be better.

Thanks for the feedback. :up:

Can you PLEASE add an option to redirect users to a specific URL after registration?

IE with your mod the best way to achieve this might be, redirect them the first time they log on...

I would say redirect them after confirmation but your mod does not allow an email confirmation for some odd reason... (If this is due to an auto-generated password, this could be solved by adding an optional password field to the registration form if the confirmation option is selected)

It doesn't allow for email confirmation because it isn't necessary. If the email isn't valid they can never log in.

If you regularly prune users who have never posted or logged in in x-months or years these accounts will just get deleted- and if not- they don't hurt anyone.

I will see about redirecting to a URL- what page do you imagine redirecting them to?

1 - If invalid email addresses are used, you increase bounced emails and emails that go to nowhere (or to the wrong person). This is bad for the deliverability of emails from a domain. Unconfirmed email addresses do not get automated forum emails (which is good).

Especially on some boards where all members are automatically subscribed to certain threads/forums.

With your system, speaking in a somewhat extreme circumstance, all it would take is a blast from a spam bot (or registrations over time) and next thing you know your forum has 100's of email addresses in the database that receive forum emails. This could also result in spam complaints. It has FAR more to do with just whether or not they can log-on, there are negative effects to bypassing the email confirmation step.

I've had members registered for several months and even 1+ years before ever making their first post, so generally speaking I won't prune users out just because of their post count, as there is some content for registered members only which some people might register to access.

2 - I would like to redirect to any URL I choose. Could be an offer for an upgraded membership, could be a link to a rules thread, could redirect to the introduction forum, etc.

I was using the register redirect mod for a while but it's incompatible with your mod. I will most likely be uninstalling it soon however until improvements are made.

BOP - I disabled all the human verification since it really does no good, and have some mods that check for spam. In any event I am receiving this under the Really Fast Registration:

Its a banner under the input boxes that says HUMAN VERIFICATION and a CANCEL button underneath this. How do I get rid of this banner and button? Thanks.

Not sure what went wrong but add this to addtional.css template:

Edit**

My only issue the after disabling human verification (Only because the "I'm not a robot" box shows up on page load making it look "odd")

Even after disabling (and adding the above to the additional CSS) the "cancel" human verification option still shows

i'd need a link to see the page where it is happening to suggest the CSS to fix it.

I'm getting this all the time:
The answer given for human verification did not match what was expected. Please try again.
