vb.org Archive - View Single Post - Making email address optional on registration? vB 3.8.7

Max Taxable · #5 12-19-2013, 09:45 PM

I can see issues with it - what if a person forgets his password? I had planned to strongly word the option to let them know a valid email address is vital for password changes and remainders, and we don't spam you. Or some such.

Lots of my users get their alerts via email, for their subscribed threads. They would need to record a valid email address still, for this to work.

But really, there's no reason anymore to require email on registration. They can fill it out and validate it later, when they feel like it.

Code:

OR empty($vbulletin->GPC['email'])

That just might do it. If not we will go further.

Would need "OR confirm" commented out as well, right? Line 293?
