How to activate a new member?

Any member that wants to register on your forum needs to feel registration form. The newcomer fills in the compulsory fields the username, the email address and a password and optional fields like country, gender, hobbies...

3 activation modes

Once the registration done, the new member can access your forum depending on your activation choice. Indeed, on the administrative panel, the founder can select the activation mode:

- No activation: new members can register to your forum without any activation
- User: Users activate their account by received an activation email.

As long as the new member does not validate the link in the activation email, the member stays on the "inactive member list". You can manually activate those members via the "Inactive users" list:
