@ cyb

thanks for a great work :up:

regards

Nice mod and a few suggestions.

The option to change the default e-mails so that the register link includes the person referring them, Example:

To sign up please visit the following page:
http://www.domain.com/forum/register.php?referrerid=$userid

This way vbulletin automatically adds the member who invited them as a referrer on the registration page.

Also please change the inactive user deletion to have addition confirmation warning e-mails send before the deletion is complete. So hopefully less members are lost.

Thanks!

No worry, they will be marked as referrers even without referrerid in the link.

[Dreamgun]

Even without forced invitation invites only? I'm not sure how that's possible, because the link they get emailed is just to /register.php and the new registering user has no invitation code to enter.

Works great...

But is there any way at all that i can set it up so that only an administrator or moderator can issue an invitation & nobody else, or allow me to select who can & who can't issue invitations.

I do not want my regular members to be able to use this.

Othewise it's a great mod

Thankyou

Will.

This mod has worked great for me.Better then any other mod to stop bots.I always had issues with the other mods with people signing up.So thanks for this.

[Daleo]

In the Advanced Registration Management page where you can show the list of Invitations that have gone out. The "accepted" column always shows the wrong date. For instants, an invitation that was accepted today shows a date of Wed, Dec 31, 1969, 7:00:00 PM (this was before I was born!)

How do I fix this?

[Jman423]

This is a great mod. Is there any chance in the future that we can ban a user instead of (or as an alternative to) deleting them?

Thanks

[SemperFideles]

Not sure why, but when I try to Accept Selected Users who I am approving for Registration, nothing happens. They are not accepted.

[GameFrame]

Thanks for this, exactly what i was looking for to prevent spam bots registering that can defeat vB OCR check.
