boRg,

There's no problem at all to wait for the next version. We can handle this little problem the way kbannon did:

I've found the problem, there wasa bug in the file login_user.asp thatment that even if an account was deactivated a new usercode would becreated when the user logged in over writing the suspension data.

I did correct this problem but it seems in the rush to get 7.9 out, aspeople where hasselling me, I forgot to add the updated file to the zipfile.

You'll have to wait for the next version in order to fix this bug now. Sorry.

This is why in my tests I could not replicate the problem.

Ah, just one more thing: this is not my case, for I'm the only moderator in the forum. ;-)

Dear boRg,

After some tests, that's what we have:

1 - If you simply set the user as not active and this user tries to log in, he will be able to resend his activation email and will also be able to activate his account.

2 - If you set the user as not active and ban his e-mail account, it's just the same. I think banning works only to new registrations, right?

3 - If you set the user as not active and he tries to use his original activation e-mail, his account will not be reactivated! That's exactly what you said.

When I say that I banned the user, I'm talking about banning his e-mail address. I can't ban his IP because of dinamic IPs and I have not found any other kind of banning -- like banning a username.

That's it for now. I think we must really change the e-mail address of the "banned" user in order to avoid his account reactivation.

the file login_user_test tells me when I try logging in with a de-activated account the following:-

Successful Login

Your Forum Membership is not yet activated!

To activate your forum membership click on the link in the activation email you should have received after registering.

Resend Activation Email


Return to the Discussion Forum

Tried re-uploading the file but the above message is copied from the result!

Hmmm... I don't know then... :-(

I set an user as not active and for my surprise he was able to login and post again. I could only think he had used his original activation email message. I need to find out what he did...

Look boRg, I'll make some tests tomorrow and let you know if I find out something, ok?

Emiliano.

The activation email can only be used once.

If you try to reuse it, or even refresh the page it will rerurn anerror on the activation page, as the user code is changed when anaccount is activated.

I have been through and tested this and if your account is suspended then it will display a message saying so for many parts of the forum.

If you try a go directly to the, resend activation email page (as a link will not appear to it), then you will be sent to a page saying you don't have sufficient permissions to go to that page.
.

boRg,

I had this problem too. I think if you just set the user account as not active and the user still has the original activation e-mail, he will be able to re-activate his account. I don't know what happens if you really ban his e-mail address.
