As the admin of my forum I'd like to have the ability of being notified when someone registers and I want to be able to approve them or decline them before they can view or post. Is that possible?

Well, i myself wanted 2 do that.
Then wat i thought was create some group called beginner or something like that. make it starting group. u cannot access any forums 4m there.

now if u approve the registration, u convert that 2 newbie. then they'll see forums.

any other way??

hope this helps...

But how am I to be notified someone has registered? Is there a setting for that?

use email registration and set the email address to your own in the code instead of the user email address.

Open register.asp and change the code in red

'******************************************
'*** Send activate email ***
'******************************************

'Inititlaise the subject of the e-mail that may be sent in the next if/ifelse statements
strSubject = "" & strTxtWelcome & " " & strTxtEmailToThe & " " & strMainForumName

'If the members account needs to be activated or reactivated then send the member a re-activate mail a redirect them to a page to tell them there account needs re-activating
If (blnEmailActivation = True AND strMode = "new") OR blnAccountReactivate = True Then

                         'Send an e-mail to enable the users account to be activated
                         'Initailise the e-mail body variable with the body of the e-mail
                         strEmailBody = strTxtHi & " " & decodeString(strUsername)
                         strEmailBody = strEmailBody & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & strTxtEmailThankYouForRegistering & " " & strMainForumName & "."
                         strEmailBody = strEmailBody & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & strTxtUsername & ": - " & decodeString(strUsername)
                         strEmailBody = strEmailBody & vbCrLf & strTxtPassword & ": - " & strPassword
                         strEmailBody = strEmailBody & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & strTxtToActivateYourMembershipFor & " " & strMainForumName & " " & strTxtForumClickOnTheLinkBelow & ": -"
                         strEmailBody = strEmailBody & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & strForumPath & "/activate.asp?ID=" & Server.URLEncode(strUserCode)

'Send the e-mail using the Send Mail function created on the send_mail_function.inc file
blnSentEmail = SendMail(strEmailBody, decodeString(strUsername), decodeString(strEmail), strMainForumName, mailto:'you@domain.com" - "you@domain.com" , strSubject, strMailComponent, false)

where the email address is yours so you get the confirmation emails

Michael,

Thanks. I think this forum package will now allow me to do everything I want it to. I wanted control over who registered and I think this is probably the easiest way to accomplish it. I want our forum to be a value added service for those who attend our seminars.
