The activation email can only be used once.

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

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?

[]s,
Emiliano.

If you could, but I have found in the past when such things happen that the person has hasselled a moderator to re-activate their account.

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!
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.

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.

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

I've found the problem, there wasa bug in the file login_user.asp that ment that even if an account was deactivated a new usercode would be created 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, as people where hasselling me, I forgot to add the updated file to the zip file.

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.

boRg,

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

Right? ;-)
Thanks!
