LS Passwords

[KLS]

The users are being disallowed to create accounts if they don't activate their account with their email. There's no real interface for me to access login accounts sans going in through direct mysql calls.

so, how long does an account go without use before its purged from the DB, and thus being able to be reused?

I don't understand? So you are saying even though we created login accounts back in 2006 or before, they now need to be re-activated? Is this because of that recent vulnerability issue?

come again?

No it's denying people permission if your forum account is set to not-activated by email to create and attach LS accounts. I'm wondering if people are not getting the email?

[circuitdragon79]

I'm not, its been a LONG while since my first account was created, and none of my current address work. I assume I had to use an ISP provided address, which now obviously I don't have. But this is what I get for not updating my info.

If someone has a problem with an older account giving you access violations I can fix it without too much trouble if you pm me.

or you could just spend the 15 minutes to make a php script to edit old and create new accounts that doesnt rely on the forum account activation process


heck i could even give you the scripts i got for doing the same thing pretty sure the structure aint much different
