I use the email user activation on my site and it works fine when they use the register link built in to PHP Nuke. But if they go in to the members list or the forum (phpBB) there is a register link in those two, and if they use them they can register without email activation. So the same user can make mutiple accounts without the email check or with fake emails.
This should NOT be possible!
How do I remove these links? I cant find them in the pbpBB code. |

A simple fix maybe to change the permissions on the Members List (Nuke side under Module administration) to registered users only. Then preventing non-members from seeing the members list and the register link inside.
Just a quick work around, not a code fix though. |

This does not solve the problem... If you set it to members only, you can still register in the forum menu without email activation! |

Then fix your configuration so they can't register without email activation.
http://www.phpbb.com/support/guide/#section3_2_2
Enable account activation - When set to None, a user may log in as soon as he/she registers. When set to User, a user must validate his email address before logging in. The user will be sent an email with an activation link. When the user clicks this link, their account is activated and he/she may log in. When set to Admin, a user's account must be activated by an administrator. For more information, see 3.5.3 User Management. |
