I am running 3.0.4 now. I have upgraded a month ago from a 2.x.x version. Everything went well and the board was running. Except now my "new members" are not being activated without any authorization or control.
I used to have "user activation" selected. Under the new Control Panel under "user registration settings" I only have two options, "none" or "disable". There should be "user" and "Admin", isn't that correct?

Re: Email and activation options
If you only have account activation options for 'disable' and 'none' it means you have the board email disabled.
Admin panel>email settings>enable board email
If the email is disabled, the board cannot send mail out to users or admins to activate their accounts so those options are not visible.

Re: Email and activation options
Hi!
Dolk, I at some point had to have at least one "normal administrator" receive the activation emails. I got no registration emails if I only had the super admin (who is also the group leader) in the admin group. Once I added another "approved group member" both admins started getting the registration emails again.
Of course, I don't know if this is really your issue. I'm also not sure I had the problem in version 3.0.4, could also be that was in 3.0.0. (Just upgraded a few weeks ago.)

OK, That fixed that. Some how it was not enabled. I don't know how, but sometime during the upgrade I guess.Kevin Clark wrote:If you only have account activation options for 'disable' and 'none' it means you have the board email disabled.

However, now a new person can register and it gives the message that they have to respond to an email sent (to activate account), but no email is sent. I do not use the SMTP. It is set at "No". I never had to use SMTP before.
