    Solved How can I create user accounts manually?

    Post by mech3d February 5th 2013, 6:49 pm

    I want to create user accounts manually which I can give to certain people to be able to log on and use the forum. Is there anyway to do this?

    Thanks!

    Sorry but I specified the wrong form, I am using phpBB3.

    That is a good tip, but what if i wanted to do that without an email associated with an account, is that possible or can I use a fake email?

    Thanks for the quick reply.

    I believe you can use a fake email, but the account must be activated in the admin panel.

    I tried using a fake email but the system checks to see if it is valid and won't let me proceed.

    So I can't use duplicate or fake emails.

    ??? Confused

    It will be better if you just send the forum's link to the ones you want to register.

    Well I don't think this is going to work. Even if I type a fake email, the system checks to see if it is valid.

    I was hoping to create forum where the users are completely anonymous to each other to allow them to freely disuss issues in their life without fear of being judged.

    I have a group of people where I would have given them a logon name and password and I didn't want them to use their own email address.

    Anyway, that's it I guess.

    They can register with their real email addresses, then after logging in change their email addresses.

    Ok I got....

    if you makeup a name and use the domain "@email.com" it will accept the email address.

    Once this is done, just go to the Admin CP and activate the user.

    I have no idea where email is being sent, but I found this technique for people who want to register for something without using their real email.

    Thank for all.
