~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!

Well I don't see the logic behind it.Why would someone have to type the same email address again.I understand why password but mail address?Senseless

If you have a big board, and you chose that users have to activate their accounts via email. if someone types in the fals email, he have to register new ...


Someone will not need this, but why remove

[Ziki]

But he can type a false email twice.this doesn't delete the email check.Only the second confirmation box

Personally, I think the email confirmation is to prevent someone from "fat-fingering" their email address and inputting it wrong.

Would be good if vb could put a better check in eg. sends a email to make sure it is a real email and not a fake address. and then if it is real then they can finish their registration. If you could do that, then that would be great. I just feel that this may make things worse.

YOu can try registering over at my website it works just fine.I never saw the point of that so I removed it

You can simply just disable activation in vb Options.
