Solved Orphaned usernames

Post by WarrenT February 3rd 2009, 10:17 pm

I have a couple of people who signed up on my forum and left their registration in an unactivated state. In other words, they did not activate their accounts from the email that was sent to them. Now they can't actvate the account because they no longer have the email. I can't delete the username so they can start over because it doesn't appear on any lists as far as I can see.

Does anyone know where I can find and fix these orphaned usernames?

Thanks!

It turned out to be a user who had already registered and didn't realize it. It looked like his username was taken because it was. It wasn't in the inactive list because it had in fact been activated.
Thanks!

Since this problem appears to be resolved, I will lock this topic now.
