We have a just built a new forum and the number of pending registrations is climbing. It seems some people just don't check their email (I suspect most of the email addresses are good because I receive bounces from bad emails). What I would like is a simple way to send reminders to pending registrations of a certain age, and eventually, to remove them if there is no response. I know I can do this outside of Snitz with a stand-alone program that queries the Forum DB and generates the email, but I wondered if this issue had already been addressed within the forums. I didn't find anything in the FAQ or using searches within the forums here.

I took a quick look at the Mod. I might work with some changes to account for the data base structure changes in 3.4 and use of encryption. I'm leaning towards creating a stand-alone program (we use Delphi as our primary development took) since that way the baseline Snitz code isn't affect, and I can run it from any computer in the office that can access the data base. If anyone is interested, I'll see about making the program available (once it's written, of course).

I take care of this by changing the text that's sent out with the e-mail to include a note that the registration key is only valid for 2 days and then they will have to re-register. Every day while doing my forum chores, the last step is to check the members pending and delete any members pending for 3 or more days.
