I am creating a forum for my daughter to stay in touch with her friends without having to go on myspace.com, which I banned her from. I will be monitoring the forum. I would like to make it a requirement to enter a valid email address for registration so that if I see any of her friends not following the rules that i set, I can contact the parent(s) to inform them what is going on. Call me an over protective mom, but that's just too bad!! This is better than allowing her on myspace.com. How do I go about setting this up in the registration area? Thanks.

You can activate email activation for new members from the admin area, under 'Email Configuration' page. This will force users to use a valid email address when registering.

The latest version 8.01, also allows posts to be moderated, so that posts are checked by the forum admin or a moderator before they go live on the forum.
