New Users Disappear - YaBB 2.1 with many mods

I have new users disappearing on me - no, not on purpose.  For whatever reason, even after they successfully validate their account, it seems they are still deleted after 24 hours (the setting for remove unvalidated account).  Now this is either due to one of my mods installed, or a setting in the Admin section.  But hey, I went through those settings several times and can't figure out anything that might be wrong.

If anyone has any suggestions on how to repair this problem (besides removing the validation scheme... with all the spambots, it's absolutely necessary), I'm all ears.

I have the following MODs installed (in no particular order):
  • Hotlinks 4 YaBB21 (v. 1.2 by Carsten)
  • Blown-up PM Box (BPM-Box v. 0.6b by dOCdas)
  • Dice 4 YaBB21 (v. 0.3 beta by Carsten)
  • RateIT Mod (v 1.8 by Carsten & Boris Tjuvanov)
  • Admin HTML in Posts (v. 1.0 by James Andrews)
  • Online Games Beta2 (v. beta2 by XTC)
  • Roll Log Mod (v. 1.0 by Thomas Dawe "Imp_In_Training")
  • Custom Page Mod (v. 0.2 by James Andrews "jam3z")
  • Extended Profiles (v. 2.1 by Michael Prager)
  • Reverse Post Order beta 1.4 YaBB2 (v. 1.4 by astro-pilot)
  • ImageShack Uploader (v. 0.1e by Curtis Grymala)


I wish I could shorten the list, but I'm not sure what could be causing it.  The last new user I had registered was in May of 2006... so the problem has shown up since then, I suppose (unless my Global Moderator created that account for his friend manually).  According to the dates as they show up in my files for those mods, that means ImageShack, and Reverse Post Order don't seem to be the problem... but anything else in that list could be.

It has been 27 hours since I created the test user using the pre-registration and account activation setting and the test user is still there, as is JetLi's test account that was made about 26 1/2 hours ago.  So it seems that everything is working now.

The only changes I made was to disable the random password at startup, and enable the pre-registration and account activation settings.  So I don't know what to say.  I know users were disappearing inexplicably within 24 hours of creating a new account... whether it is just something isolated to my configuration, or a true YaBB bug remains to be seen.

Thanks for the help... and I'll let you know if the problem reappears.

Hey. First of all thanks for using my mods  Wink

I can tell you now that neither of my mods will be creating the problem. The only thing I can guess what could be causing the problem is the Extended Profiles mod.

I suggest you head over to the support board at www.yabbforum.com, this is where you might get most help.

- James.

Thanks, but I don't think it's any of the mods, actually.  I think it's some sort of bizarre bug I just happened upon by a sequence of setting changes.  Everything's working the way I have it set now, and I changed nothing on the mods.

I am having a similar problem. But the strange thing is that they can post but as the topic starter they show as an ex member, but inside the topic they still show as a member. They can start another thread, but it will also show them as ex member.

Not sure when it started, but last night we changed the settings so enable the pre-registration and account activation settings are not checked and it still happened. It's getting pretty frustrating any help would be great. Here's a link to the forums...

k..I figured out what the problem was. Their registration time was actually and hour or so AFTER their first post. Adjusting the time should take care of it. Thanks anyway lol
