    Solved Checking New Users email address before Registering them

    Post by JennyTrumpet April 14th 2009, 12:09 am

    Hello.
    I need to check who people are before I register them for the Forum. At the moment I have it set so admin (myself) has to check it but basically I get sent two emails - one saying new person has registered and the other saying I can "click here" to register them. however no-where in those emails or anywhere I look in the admin panel can I find anything about who that new user is. All I need is their email so I can email them and check who they are.

    Thanks in advance.

    I do the same thing. In one of those emails is a new person has registered and you can view this persons profile. That will provide the persons registration email information. I did this very thing yesterday before I activated a new member.

    No when I follow that link to look at the profile it doesnt show me an email address or anything.

    I have tried uploading a print screen but its not letting me unless I register for something. But it says Contact User X and then Send an email but there is no email address there.

    You can go into your admin panel > Users and Groups > Users > Inactive users . . . you'll find the new registrant there. At this point, you can view his/her profile and email them to get further info before you activate their account.

    That link will take you to their profile. At the bottom where it says administrate user, click on profile. That's a little faster than going the other route. Sorry I didn't spell that out earlier. I forgot a step.
