I am running phpnuke and was running "Approve Membership" to have members answer questions to access my site. I had an issue with my database and can't get "Approve Membership" working anymore. Is there another way I can approve memberships and not just have open membersips where anyone can join.

Thanks in Advance for the help !

I think NSN your account mods can help . (I've used since phpnuke 7.0 , don't know recent mods existed or not).

Did you read the readme file?
Your Account tables)
html/admin/*/*.* ------------------------> admin/*/*.*
html/modules/Your_Account/*.* -----------> modules/Your_Account/*.*

3. Notes
--------
On some servers you will get a blank page or a loop after using the forms. If this should
happen open the files in a text editor and replace all 'Header("Location: ' with
'Header("Refresh: 0; url=' (without the ' marks) and save the files. Then reupload them.

4. Modifications Needed
-----------------------
Open mainfile.php in a text editor and goto the end of the file. Just before the
?> add the following code, this will kill any cookies for suspended and deleted users:
// NSN Mod
$urinfo = getusrinfo($user);
$ulevel = $urinfo['user_level'];
$uactive = $urinfo['user_active'];
if ($ulevel < 1 OR $uactive < 1) {
unset($user);
unset($cookie);
}
