This sounds like a good idea!! On my current forum, people also seem inable to put in a correct email address. This then leads others to complain that the email function is broken as the people who can't type don't get any email... ]]> Thu, 25 Jan 2007 09:58:38 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/email-activation-and-email-address-problems_topic22499_post119810.html#119810 <![CDATA[Email Activation and email address problems : Hi Borg This is a bit of a...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/email-activation-and-email-address-problems_topic22499_post119773.html#119773 Author: DeadMeat

Hi Borg
 
This is a bit of a can you add this. I have "Email Activation of Membership" turned on for the forum. The problem that I am getting at the moment is that for some reason people can't seem to enter their correct email address, and as such I am getting a lot of failures.
 
Can you let me know if it would be possible to force the user to enter his email address twice, and then checking on submission that they are the same. I can do this myself, and I will be adding it to the registration page, but would really like for you to think about this option in version 9. Only display the second email entry if this flag is set. I know that this will not solve all the problems with registration, but it will at least catch the problem with dyslexic typing, which even I seem to suffer from.
 
Thanks
DM
