you're correct about print_output still i see code like

in /includes/functions_ghsom.php it might be me using an outdated file but i don't think so not a serious problem though the system still works fine

Will this work with 4.1.2?

You must be running an older version. The latest version was redone to use vB_Template class instead of outdated functions

Yes.

Yes, working with my 4.1.2, great mod.:)

you're right :o sorry

I think I may have found a problem with "Put New User Into Newbies Group".

If enabled while the standard vBulletin "Verify Email address in Registration" is also set to Yes, the verification process still goes through the motions, but is being bypassed because members are placed straight into the Newbies Group rather than "Users Awaiting Email Confirmation".

The user still receives a verification email, but when the verification link is clicked they get a message saying they're already verified. Email verification would appear to be rendered useless.

I have for now disabled Glowhost's "Put New User Into Newbies Group" and have instead replaced the process using vBulletin's standard Promotions facility.

Good information, I will look into it.

But one thing to consider is, if email validation worked as intended, you would not have any bots. The bots are able to get past this process. So having it means an extra step for your human visitors. So ask yourself the question of if human validation is more important than putting all new registrations in the newbies group thereby limiting the damage potential a bot can do...

I agree with you that if this problem exists, we should try to get it working as intended. But I see not much value in email verification these days considering the bots get right by it and there is always a chance your legit users have the verification email undelivered due to many email factors. You might actually end up loosing legit users which is the opposite of what you are wanting to do.

You are forgetting that the email validation is not only to block spam bots, but also to prevent to become a spammer yourself. If you do not validate emails, then your site is sending large quantities of email to unrelated and inexistent email addresses. Therefore you would be sending spam and risk your site to be blacklisted as a spammer.

I have no idea what you mean actually. You have no control over the email address that the spam bot registers with, and thus the system sends the validation link to whomever the spam bot told it to go. So sending large quantities of email to illegitimate users is beyond your control unless you disable email validation, which is along the lines of my first post.

What did I miss? Can you give us an example scenario of what you mean?

I'm curious if Glow Host anti-spam generates this error? Can someone with Glowhost try to validate a thread via mod panel?

I get this error:
Special Note: You need to try and validate more then just 1 thread.
