[b]Validation email[/b]: myldsmail.net accepted the message, what they do with it after that is out of my control. Complain to them.

This may help them track the message[code:1]status=sent (250 2.0.0 11fwab8750-1 Message accepted for delivery)
[/code:1]

[b]Sig:[/b] Dunno. You're doing it wrong?

[b]Forum profile: [/b] That is probably because your email isn't validated. Tho come to think of it, with an invalidated email you shouldn't be able to post here at all.

That is correct -- your forum account status is linked to your mainsite email status. If your email is not currently valid, your forum account is automatically considered "disabled" (which blocks any attempt to log in to the forums) .

That is what I'm seeing right now on the forumside ACP.

Denis, one of the problems with the way this is set up internally is if you make any admin changes to a user's forum profile while their email is invalidated, it actually can hard-disable their forum access meaning that it won't fix itself after they've validated their email. I would consider this a bug in the way that rule is set up.

Ya, my email was vaildated. So I suppose dennis made me vaildate my email under the assumption I wasnt vaildated but this "bug" casued me to not be able to get in. Question

I didn't manually validate it. If it was just forum level disabled Strata may have re-enabled your forum access.

We'd need to add a new forum access permission to the bitset or something to fix this. But since user level permissions in the bitset is deprecated, I'm not really sure of a good way to implement this.

A "quick" mod of the forum's user ACP processing could do the trick -- such as having a way to differentiate an invalid email from manually disabled account status, or just tweak the queried values so that the form shows the [i]actual[/i] value for the user's account status instead of the computed (which includes validation) one.

I know... From your reply of "you shouldnt be able to post here with an invaildated email" I was saying you manually disabled it...because right after that I couldn't post anymore.
