phpBB • Free and Open Source Forum Software

If the email address wasn't valid, I don't think the user could have even been created. But in any case, the issue is with addresses that have been mistyped ("1" instead of "I" or incorrect domain).

No, we have a (real-world) organization. As part of this we give all our members access to our forum and also use the forum member list/groups as a way t track current and former members. Forum accounts can only be created by an administrator, and are created based on the info members write down on ...

That looks like a start, but it still isn't automatic, and therefore doesn't really accomplish much for my situation.

True, though (at least with my particular situation) a bounced welcome message (for any reason) means the user won't get there user name/password, and therefore that user name has no use and can be deleted. Maybe a better solution would be to provide a view in the ACP that shows users accounts where...

I would be interested in a mod that could monitor the inbox (using POP3) of the board's default from email address and automatically delete the user account when the "Welcome to the forums" email to that newly created user bounces.

I discovered by accident that I can pass values to the Add User Module in the ACP to have the relevant fields on the Add User form filled in. For example, ttp://www.mysite.com/forum/adm/index.php?i=add_user&mode=add_user&username=TestUser will automatically fill in the username form field wi...

There used to be a mod for phpBB v2 that would show the user groups a user was a member of under their username when viewing a topic (much the way ranks, joined date, post count, etc. are show). Is there a similar mod for phpBB v3?

I think I solved it. I had a Twitter posting mod added to the fuctions_posting.php file. I modified the mod so that it would only "Tweet" posts from certain forums. My sloppy coding at the time resulted in a line like this: if(($forum_id = 5) || ($forum_id == 6)) I think the first part of ...

You have a freakishly good memory. :) What I actually ended up doing was replacing some of my modified 3.0.5 files with the vanilla 3.0.5 and then doing the automatic update to 3.0.6. After that I went back and re-installed all the mods I wanted (though 99% still had the code in the correct files). ...

I'm running phpBB 3.0.6 with a handful of mods. Recently I notice that I am receiving email notifications of new posts like this: You are receiving this notification because you are watching the forum, "Open Forum" at "XXXXXX Forum". This forum has received a new topic since your...

Unfortunately I've since finished the update as described above.

Most of the other 500 errors with this upgrade seem to be related to a memory limit. Mine is not. Anyhow, I go the upgrade to complete by going replacing those files with the vanilla 3.0.5 versions and then running the auto update. It worked, and I'm not in the processes of going through each file a...

I installed 3.0.5 on a different account I have with 1&1. I then tried the 3.0.5-3.0.6 auto update and it worked. So I went back to 3.0.5, copied all of the files from my problem forum into that forum (overwriting the files) and attempted the update again. This time it failed. I went back to 3.0...

I have been running 3.0.5 successfully since it was released. I have several mods, but don't have a list of which ones. My board is hosted with 1&1 and I have no way to see the server error logs. When I try to do the automatic update to 3.0.6, I get a 500 error when it is checking the files. Thr...
