What does 'Marking As Installed' do ?
* It helps you to stay on top of updates - members who have installed modifications will be notified whenever new updates are available.
* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to their attention.
* Marking a modification as installed also helps me know how many people are using my work, giving me extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.
I appreciate the support!

In place of user name, there's nothing, as no user actually registered. I'm using option that they have to confirm email address.
At that time one user probably tried to confirm email address, or did something, I have for that user this info in ACP:
Time of last activity 18:21 (no seconds in ACP).
So, there's something that this user did what triggered creation of thread although there were not actual successful email activation.
I need to mention, on my site there are sometimes situations when users post double posts when they try to post single. This is vB bug, or something, as this should be prevented if they try to post same post too soon. I use vB 4.1.12.
So, this three threads could be result of this, or something related.
Anyway, part of checking if user actually confirmed email address has an error, or at least it didn't worked on my site for some reason.
I actually had 5 recent threads created with that just said, "has just joined my site" with no username...weird eh? ....

I found what triggers this behavior. It's described here in post #70. I added additional instructions in email for email confirmation, hopefully it would help my users confirm emails more often.
Hmmm, then they are somehow triggering the link. Do you have your register page in your robots text?
Code:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /register.php
It was but I have Rename register.php by BOP5 installed so the register.php was now different. I did add it to my robots.txt file now, is that the reason for this?
