I saw a fix for this problem in another thread but it might have been for another version as I couldn't find the same code to fix in version 3.0.3.

The problem is, new registrants who have not yet confirmed their email are showing up and getting the "welcome newest member" message on the forum index page. How can I exclude them from getting that message until they've confirmed?

Thanks.

Not a bug, its really working as designed, You would need to run another query on the database or modify the query in the database to exclude users who are in the awaiting email conrfirmation usergroup.
