~Hack name
Don't Require E-Mail Confirmation

~Hack description
I always hated to confirm my mail address by registration.It is senseless.This modification deletes that thing

You see the block where you have to type in the email address?It has the same purpose as the confirm password thing.I don't see the sense of having that.The email confirmation that sends emails to click on links to activate their profile still works normally it is not affected by this!

I don't think anybody gets the purpose of this hack.You see the block where you have to type in the email address?It has the same purpose as the confirm password thing.I don't see the sense of having that.The email confirmation that sends emails to click on links to activate their profile still works normally it is not affected by this!

I understand it. And it is not a BAD modification, just one that not everyone would use. But for those out there that like you don't want to input the email address twice when signing up, it is gold.

Thanks!

I need this, and this learned me how to tweak my register form. We need it to be as simple as possible, a quick name, pass and email, and press submit. No need to enter any other stuff or double type it. This mod will now be used

[Floris]

Works great. Do you also have this for the password field?

[DPSR]

yeah, please make one for password filed also

Thats what make users confirm email address does.

@Floris
