I was installing it, and it seems you NEED an email to authorize new members.

is there any setting I can change so they can register without an email?


(its not working with my email for some reason..)

thanks for any help🙂
 
If you're the admin (or have admin privilages), go into the Admin Control Panel.

Click on "Configuration" under "General Admin" on the left-hand side.

In the first section, look for "Enable account activation" and check out the options that you have available to you.

Cool, thanks.

I could swear I already tried that, but I guess not.

now I wonder what will happen when someone subscribes to a thread 😀

Click to expand...

1) Remove the subscribe option from the templates.
2) Go through the code and comment-out all the mail() functions.

Another, more serious problem you need to consider is that not having mail enabled will torpedo any sort of lost password retrieval system, so you'll need to remove all traces of that. You'll need to have anyone that loses a password email you directly to get it or they'll need to set up a new account. And if the password in encrypted forget about retrieval, the only thing left to do is set up a new account. That's really going to annoy member with high post counts because some people actually care about silly things like that.
