Confirmation Emails.

I want to set my site so that they have to confirm it through email, but when they do that it says "Your account will be activated within 12 hours.". How can I change that to 1 minute? If I don't have it set to emails, these dang spammers keep hitting my site every day, but people want instant access.

Okay come on folks, I need a solution here..lol  I need to make sue they have to receive the email before they join, and verify their accounts, to get rid of those spammers,but not have to wait for me to approve or the 12 hour wait as it says when you join.. Can anyone help here?

All you have to do is go to your Dolphin admin panel, Advanced settings, Moderation settings,

attached is how I've set mine up. After joining new user only has minimal use of the site till

they click on the link in the conformation email.

Hope this is what you meant.

Yea

I have this set before but I have to check the 3 boxes back to default

________________________________________________

Automatic profile activation after joining: check

Do not change profile status after editing profile information:  check

Automatic profile confirmation without Confirmation Email: check

_________________________________________________

the reason is when you uncheck these 3 options

when new member join to your site and they upload photo some time they crop the avatar or skip the avatar croping tool

if they cropt the avatar the photo will be save in member profile album and you wil lsee the member avatar and profile photo when you go to the member profile

if you don't have this check when new member join to your site and they use the croping tool to create the avatar

the photo is not going to be save in profile album and you will not see the member profile photo only the avatar on the member block

by default on the croping avatar tool you will see this >>   Copy to profile photos album

I uncheck these 2 boxes

________________________________________________

Automatic profile activation after joining: uncheck

so the members need to confirm the email so they can use the site

but when they upload avatar the photo is not saving in member profile

I have tried all of that. But it still wants member to wait tell admin okays their request. I want them to just get a email and verify through that and not have to wait for me to activate them. I don't want them to see the note stating it will be looked at by admin within 12 hours. My site is a free site so they need to be able to join,verify email, then go straight to their account without waiting for me to approve it.

agree

with you they need first to check the email adress they use on the registration so they can confirm the email and when they click the email the account need to be activate
