This mod is in response to this request:

This product allows you to be notified whenever a user changes their email address. You can choose to have selected users be notified by PM, or to set up a forum in which changes are posted to a specified thread, or both. You set the PM/thread title, and the format of the report.

Nice mod but I have a better idea inspired from Facebook .. they periodically check if the email address still exist or not .. if it doesn't exist they prompt user to update email.

That's not the purpose of this mod at all...the purpose of this mod is to alert the administrator(s) and others when a user changes his/her email address, not to alert a user if their current email address is invalid. :)

Hey Mark, thank you for sharing.
Thought I would let you know that this works perfectly in 3.8, just had to change minversion in the product to 3.8.

Note: If I select pm and thread, email still changes but, throws up 500 server error.

Sorry, I should have tested better before posting.

Mark, works perfect in vb4.2.0

Checked for all situations (you know me) :p
No problems so far.

Thanks :up:

Hey Tim,

I was planning to look into porting to vB 3.8.x tonight, as I figured it should work with little or no changes. Thanks for the heads up about the server error! :)

Good to hear, Stratis! :up:

Excellent stuff, thank you.
However I second the Nirjonadda's request for FB like mod. Could be pretty useful.

Very nice system, but I do have a suggestion. The email notification appears whenever an email has been changed as your system was designed to do so. But the notification it is being posted (or pm'd) while the user has not confirmed the email address. So, my suggestion is:

1), Have an option so the admin can select when to notify the specified users or specific forum before or after the user validated the email address (so, either once the user has changed the email, or after the user has verified the address)

2), Bit more difficult to do (and for thread post notification only), display that the user has changed the email address and once the user has verified it, edit the post that the system made that the user verified the email address as well. Making this suggestion as some people change the email address, but never verify it.

Version 1.1:

• Changed PHP hook location so that alert(s) are sent only when everything is confirmed and the email has changed.

Works as well :), just made the suggestions in my above post in regards that maybe some people find it interesting to know about an email change as soon someone attempts to change it.
