Hi, I hope I'm putting this post in the right section. Sorry if it's not.
Today my forum had a new member sign up, and activate themself via email - before today, we believed our security settings were on admin/moderator approval only for all new members. However, there is no record in the sites' logs to show that any of the mods have changed this setting, or any other general settings since the 2nd of the month, and I know I didn't change it myself. I can also say that this change has only happened some time within the past week, as I only had another new member sign up about a week prior to this, and had to provide admin approval for their account.
Is there any changes that happened in the past week which may account for this, or is this a bug exclusive to my site? I have since changed the security settings back to admin approval only for new members, but I am concerned that this may happen again if the source of the issue is not found. Does anyone have any ideas? I can provide more info if requested.
