However, Confirm Account was the only code element that we > use that expected this field to be present, so I think it might be worth it. The problem is with the createNew() function in User. The regular "create account" interface (which admins can still usually access with ConfirmAccount and everyone can without the extension) will suffer from the same problem in this case. createNew() always tries to set user_options to "" no matter how it was called (such as by ConfirmAccount). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
