Prior To Member Confirmation - Labeled as Pending Member · **Released**: 06-22-2003

Alright basically this will display "Pending Member" instead of the new members username and remove the link until they have verified their email address.

On my site a while back we had a "pest" that just wouldnt go away and kept reregistering with vulgar names and such so we developed this to stop him. Long story short it finally took a lawyer to put him to sleep. Anyways... we never removed the hack because we felt it made the site look more professional and encourage more members to finish their registration process or they were never officially a member.

Anyways... take a look at the screen shots. Its a very simple hack and takes only a minute to install. 4 file edits in two files. No template edits.

On a side note... if you have a portal software that runs with your vb you may want to integrate this with your online members list that is normally displayed on those pages. I have the code for the mYvBindex portal if anyone is interested i can post it later. Also I have the same for the vbstats hack.

Please click install if you install this hack, and feedback is welcomed!

Doesn't work here.... users still shows up with nick....

Where does it still display their handle? Anyone else having this problem? I installed on a fresh copy of vb and had no problems.

Also you MUST have the "Confirm Email Address" option ON in the vbulliten options or this hack will have no effect.

After installing, try registering a test name... without confirming the email address and let me know what happens. Make sure the above option is on.

Nice idea, though for the "Newest Member: Pending" spot, I would rather omit the pending users and only show the newest member who has been email confirmed.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
