It registered a test user early and did not receive any notification of that - Is this a known issue? or is there a setting I am missing somewhere?

Thanks - Does this apply to PM's also? and what about new registrations? how will admins be aware of new registrations requiring authentication

However, you can edit your settings so that you will receive a pop up upon receiving a PM. Simply go to Inbox -> PM System Settings -> Display an alert whenever you receive a new PM and select "Yes".

InvisionFree, for example, did not have the features it has now, such as a domain manager, ad removal, portal, etc when it was first launched. Many more features were added, and this is the same for ZetaBoards. In this case, I believe email notification of new topics was removed deliberately, as it was felt it was more annoying than useful to receive an email every time someone replied to a topic. If someone were to spam a topic, there'd be trouble.

If someone were to spam a topic, there'd be trouble. Not having notification of a Private Message though and especially Admins not having notification of new members where admin authorisation is set is a regrettable and retrograde step. Many of my members will check their email perhaps before setting off for work to see if there are any PM's and that same a lunchtime so that leaves them at a disadvantage - Even worse of course for Admins The argument about spammed topics is also flawed as you would only receive ONE email until you visited that topic rather than a message for every reply Edited by Peteh, Jun 25 2008, 11:35 AM.
