Currently, if there's any new signups, and we choose manual activation by Admin, there is only 1 email address that the system will send the activation email to.

I want to know if it's possible to specify more than 1 email for all manual membership activation as not all time that 1 admin is there to activate someone. There can be more than 1 person with different email address that the system can send the activation request to.

Thanks!

Another question is:

Is there a feature to force all visitors to register before they can see any threads at all in the forum? Currently, guests not able to see the threads' details but they can still see the structure of the forum without registering first.

Also, a suggested feature would be that Administrators are able to see an announcement box at the top saying "You have 1 member awaiting activation" in addition to emailing the activation request to 1 administrator at present. This feature is currently available in Snitz forum.

If you go to the page where you set the forum name, description, etc. in the admin area there is an option to hide the forum if a user doesn't have access to it. This would then hide that forum and make it invisible to all accept those who can access it.

Your other suggestion is a good idea and not something which has been suggested before and will be looked into. The only concern is the extra database hits required which would slow down the forum. Maybe an option with in members list to display unactive accounts maybe better, however on allot of larger forums like here were you get 100's on unactivated accounts it may not be something that everyone wants.

I went to Forum Configuration ( http://www.fans-of-triumph.com/respect/forum/admin_web_wiz_forums_configuration.asp - http://www.fans-of-triumph.com/respect/forum/admin_web_wiz_forums_configuration.asp ) and unable to see the option to hide the forum from unregistered user. Is this feature in v10 beta instead?

If the click to activate users will take lots of overhead then not worth it to implement. I just tot that the Snitz forum thing will allow any Admin to activate new users and not just 1 designated Admin with 1 email address. :-)

Can you setup that email account to do forwarding?
Our current host allows automatic email forwarding to other email accounts.
