    Solved New member activated automatically?

    Post by Gimpy Cat November 21st 2017, 11:59 am

    Hi, I came home today to discover a new member on my forum. I have it set so that all new members must be activated by Admin. I checked the security admin actions log and there is nothing showing. The last member I activated was early November. How is it possible for someone to activate an account without Admin authorization? I dont want this to keep happening.

    My forum is quilterslastresort.com

    Thanks for your help

    Thank you, I will deactivate all of it, I dont use phones or tablets so was unaware of this kind of option appearing on the forums. I appreciate your assistance. Now I can go to bed and sleep without it driving me nuts wondering how it occurred. Very Happy
