So you see ozzy lol , suggesting to upgrade doesn't always fix everything lol .. it's an answer and suggestion given way to often by some without even knowing if that will fix the issues ...

[ozzy47]

I know that all to well, I would have told the OP to upgrade to protect his site, as well as letting them know it is a long standing issue.

As the Brits here would no doubt say, Yes, quite.

Now that I look at the code, it should not be showing, Users Awaiting Email Confirmation or Users Awaiting Moderation.

But it does right? Or am I seeing things lol ...

[ozzy47]

TBH, I don't think it does, but it will show a banned member.

[CAG CheechDogg]

Hmm ok ... maybe someone that has an unverified account can confirm for us .......

No Cheech, IT DOES SHOW UP... it does for a whole day until your vbull runs the daily query that cleans them out, or at least I think that's why mine disappeared.

HOWEVER, it's still a real pain in the @$$ to have them show up in the first place and like I replied in the other thread that just fouls me into running around checking to see if it's a legit register or not!!
The site I'm talking about is young and membership is about to take off. I have them set to email verify and moderate so I can setup their usergroup before getting in, but daily I waste time looking for that one or 2 weird named 'new users' who aren't legit

I suppose big forums use completely automatic member approval based various filtering methods. I manually approve every new member. I use this:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=268113

to alert me that a new member needs approval. All my staff members, (myself and one other) have admin perms to approve new members. I never pay any attention to the latest member in the What's Going On box.

[CAG CheechDogg]

Frosti I knew it did .... However, I didn't know that there was a daily task that cleans them out ....

I don't have to worry about legit accounts much anymore ... but I can definitely relate and remember how frustrating it was to have to do what you are doing now ...
