There's no way I can think of.

What you suggested is pointless because you can easily edit your profile before you have your e-mail confirmed.

As for e-mail check, I'll implement that.

got the gmail,yahoo,hotmail contact list importer made! weeeeee!

MissK,

It's not nice to tease.

Are you going to share it? :-)

Hello its amaginz....

can we have it?? its really amaging thing

Congrats...

I would like to req Psionic Vision to do dat.. Come'n make it for us.. We know u can :D.. Quick update ur hack with hotmail yahoo gmail address importer..

Even if I can, I don't feel like it. As I already said, I'm not planning to do that. Anyone who wants it - feel free to release as either an add-on to this hack or as a separate hack. Thanks.

well we are in beta testing

my coder made an addon to this one....so n e one intrested pm me :) only thing is the html e-mail i only found the class_mail way to do it and im sure theres an easier way so anyone who finds out let me know!

il send you my code to get it working... pm me or message me on msn... would be great if the html mail worked with all the IM's... Also il help you insert avatar codes / refferal codes etc.. which could benefit the users in extra points or whatever... they will want to get friends signing up then by accepting the invites etc... :squareeyed:

okay dokie :) i will!

We did a full update to 3.5.3 with the hopes of initiating this excellent invite system, without having to turn on "Forum View" permission for guests (per Psionic Vision's note in the readme.html.)

But we're still having one issue with it: when an invitee clicks the email link to log in, they are told "You must be invited in order to be able to register on our board. Have a nice day."

(This happens despite the fact that the invitee is using the same link they were invited with.)

Now, we've set this as our forum's default skin. It's a integral part of our forum's atmosphere and focus.

I notice that if the invitee uses the QuickStyle Chooser to switch to vBulletin's Default theme upon invite, then the invite goes through and then they can continue with the registration properly. I've tested it all the way through and it works, keeps referral's name intact and everything. It just doesn't work if the user doesn't manually change the style first with the QuickStyle Chooser pull-down below.

So is this is an issue specifically with our third party skin, and is there a workaround? Would this have anything to do with the "Forum View" permission issue in 3.5.2 and earlier?

I'd hate to have to change our default skin now back to vBulletin just to work around this, yet it's the only thing now standing in our way. I also don't see a way to set the default skin for solely the "Unregistered / Not Logged In" usergroup back to vBulletin... as that would have been an acceptable workaround too.

Now, we tried appending "&styleid=1" to the end of the invite link, in invites_letter, as that "forced" them in with the vBulletin original skin. But then the cookie is set, and they eventually validate their email and their account is approved, they log back in and they are still in the vBulletin original skin. :ermm: I'd like for them to welcomed inside with our customized skin, of course.

Any assistance with this last speedbump would be mightily appreciated.
