I am having some problems with the member registration functionality in my forum (v. 3.4.03) I have added a few mods during the years, and on "register.asp" I find the "registration mod", "e-mail validation mod" (think this was implemented to the base code at some stage), and "anti-spam E-mail filter".
The problem I am having is that some times (not very often), when people think they have completed the registration process after verifying their email, their account has actually not been activated. When I go to the pending members section to activate them by clicking the "activate member" link I get the message:
"Activation is Complete!
Hi "some members name", you have already successfully registered with us.
You may now begin posting using your UserName and Password.
However, the member's name is not the name of the member I am trying to activate, but the name of some other previously registered member. The person I just "activated" will then still be pending, and I am not able to activate their account as admin.

| Sounds like a mod related issue. I would suggest that you compare the key value at the end of the link that shows in the browser status bar when you let the mouse hover about the active member link with the Key value in the database for that member. That will allow you to see if they are equal. If not (and likely it won't be) then you will have to look at the code to find out where the mismatch is coming from. |

That can be a cause, but you can have a look in the DB and see if you have repeated key values.
This does not affect any of the Snitz 3.4.x base versions. Your problem is caused by a code change.

Thanks for helping ruirib!
I was trying to check the DB but was not able to show FORUM_MEMBERS properly in my Access 2000, as I did get many lines with where the fields only contained #Error and that was spread randomly through the database starting at the line with ID no 148 and for the last 1500 IDs all is just #Error. The Access 2000 program also displays numerous error messages about invalid bookmarks and wrong database format. It is probably because my version of MS Access is too old, or could it be a more serious problem with the DB? I have no problem displaying details in the profiles from the #Error-ed DB IDs in my browser.
I think I will finally consider getting updated to the latest Snitz version, it is just all those mods I have installed that makes it such a dreadful thought. |

The database seems perfectly ok to me. Saw no errors at all.
Can't really say anything about the original issue, as there are no pending members and I have no admin access to try a new registration and compare as I suggested. |

Thanks very much for helping and for checking the db. I think the error must be caused by the code in the Friendly Registration MOD: http://www.buildyourown.org.uk/snitz/mods/fr_mod.htm
I will try to remove the code and see if that eliminates the error. |
