1. They are existing. They could be reactivated at any time.Martin Truckenbrodt wrote:Hello stevemaury,
I think it's absolutely nonsense to send PMs to users the board tells that they are not existing.
Why a deactivated user isn't allowed to use the board for posting but still can use other features?
BTW: Board wide email isn't allowed for deactivated users by now and by phpBB3 default.
Welcome PM:
I think these PMs should only be sent than the account activation process has been finished and the new user account has been activated completely and successfully.
Bye Martin
2. What features can a deactivated user use? They can't log in to see the PMs until they are reactivated.
3. Welcome PM - phpbb would have to periodically run a query to determine if and when a user has been activated. If they never activate, phpbb would look forever. That would cost resources either way.
