: The email confirmation feature
When a new member registers for your message board, an email will automatically be sent to the email address they gave when signing up. The email will contain a link that the member must click to confirm that the email address they provided is valid.
The user will not be able to use their account until they have confirmed the email address.
The confirmation email can be resent by clicking the "resend email confirmation" link in the member's profile. The owner or moderator can also manually confirm the email address for the user by clicking the "force email confirmation" link in the member's profile.
This feature can be enabled or disabled by following the directions below:
- Login to your Website Toolbox account.
- Click the General Settings link.
- Scroll down to the Security options section.
- Check or uncheck the checkbox next to Require users to confirm their email address.
- Click the Submit Settings link, located toward the bottom of the page.
