Activate & Message - for new members dont work.

Automatic Activate for new users dont work.

I approve option for new user, auto-activate,
but somethimes I see,new users to wait for activate in admin panel.

And another problem:
My welcome messages, for new users, stay in my folder (for send).

well that means they havnt activated themselves yet

and plus, the welcome messages stay in the admins sent box, because it means its been sent...

I have 11 "Welcome" messages for send to new users,
some of them is 2 months ago, and 25 new members who never visit forum

I dont understand,why people who want to be member of my forum, wait to approve registration.
My forum is free to read for guests.

have no idea, that happens to me. they wait. they prob too lazy to check their emails so they wait.

Hello,

When I was younger I had an email hosted with hotmail which had more than 10.000 unread mails in the inbox and so I never read them...
All those registrations to Facebook and other kinds of forums that work that way are just spamming all the time, so if your forum is a young-disccussions forum or is about RPG GAMES you will get alot of young-population:P with really FULL inbox-es , so I suggest you activate them by yourself

Regards,
Christos

Yes, I activate new members by myself...O.K.

but "Welcome" message is stil in my "for send" forum, and new members never receive them.
I think when I Activate new member they must receve this message.

P.S.
Thank you, swampslayer & Christos for help.

So, what your saying, is that someone will register and you activate them, but when they log-on to the forum, they have no welcome message in their inbox?

I activate new members, but...
they never receive first message (wellcome),
and 25 of my new members never visit forum.
