could you explain exactly what is different from the default forum behaviour ?
Activation is something that is only generally done in extremely rare cases (if ever) since an un activated account generally indicates that their email address was invalid, so why would you want to mass activate anything?
The only reason we ever decline registrations is if either the email address looks dodgy, the username looks dodgy or they are known spammers, so why would I want to email them saying their registration was declined ? <

Hi Gary,
If you do another update of this to include more options, would it be too much to ask if there was something like a "reason for joining" included in the registration form? Their reason(s) then could be used as a supplement to your MOD to help qualify the prospective members.<

Gary, I'll be happy to write the instructions, etc., for you. I think that instead of using email attachments (which are automatically blocked by a large number of email programs), I would create a follow-on asp page (with form fields) to "register.asp".
The form could contain the reason for the request and other pertinent information. The results of the form could go directly into a database table & a link would be sent to the administrator (vs the standard link of "so-and-so is pending approval").
This approach would keep the responses always associated with the applicant's name/email/IP and eliminate having to print & keep hard copies or keeping xx quantity of emails which would have to be searched in your email program to eliminate repeat applications using fake names.<

Code:
If the administrator is satisfied with the replies provided, then
the application/registration would be approved & the approval email sent to the applicant.
else (otherwise)
the application would be denied, the database entry coded as such, and the rejection email sent to the applicant.This approach would keep the responses always associated with the applicant's name/email/IP and eliminate having to print & keep hard copies or keeping xx quantity of emails which would have to be searched in your email program to eliminate repeat applications using fake names.<

We went down this road before. As I stated previously -- if a person has a need for this MOD, it is there. If you don't need it or think it is useless or think it is a terrible idea or think it will lead you to purgatory, don't install it.hey, no need to get *****y, I only asked, since you did not exactly explain what it does.
And you still haven't explained why you would want to send an email to a manually activated account when pretty much the only reason an account requires manual activation is if the email did not arrive in the first place.<
