Isn't there a mod to do this?
Like an opt-out feature?

Ok, posted in the wrong section, could admin please move this to mod request

Thanx in adv.

I been trying to look, but had no luck so far.
But is there a way so the user can select if they want to receive emails from the forum? I.e. an unsubscribe option?

Hi Welshy, Yep that is exactly what I'm looking for. I want to turn the Visual Confirmation off when a user registers. And what you told me to do was exactly what i thought myself, but for some reason the option to Enable Visual Confirmation isn't there. That's what so confusing. Maybe there is a wa...

Hi guys, Sorry about this not sure what section this should be in but I remember in the old versions of PHPBB there was an option to disable the Confirmation code fron the configuration page in the admin panel, but for some reason in version 2.0.20.

the thing is, I can prune all the other forums but one.
This one is probably the biggest of the lot as well.

Is there a way to delet them via phpmyadmin?

Hi guys, I keep getting this error when I try to prune some of the sub forums and it returns a sql error. The whole error looks like: Could not obtain lists of topics to prune DEBUG MODE SQL Error : 1053 Server shutdown in progress SELECT t.topic_id FROM phpbb_posts p, phpbb_topics t WHERE t.forum_i...

Thats cool, but what I mean is. When a post/topic is edited, I want a note sayin 'who' edited automatically inserted under the signature of that post.
