Just wondering how others are dealing with public member signups that require an email activation?
What I'm doing on a new site that I recently set up is sending out the activation as soon as someone registers. If a user tries to login with an account still in the unactivated state, they're shown an appropriate error message and given the option of having another activation email sent to them. I expire the unactivated accounts after 48 hours, deleting them completely from the books. This should allow someone to re-register using the same email address, in case their activation email was lost, overlooked, or caught by a spam filter. Other approaches? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:319561 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
