UseBB Community

Hi,

Something weird happened, I logged on as admin, went to my panel and changed my email address and when I clicked OK (or save), I got a message saying that my account needed activation. Is this a bug? I couldn't logon to my own board to activate my own account.

Mind you, I corrected the problem by entering the following queries in my DB using phpmyadmin:

UPDATE `usebb_members` SET `active` = '1',
`active_key` = '' WHERE `id` =1 LIMIT 1 ;

Cheers,
Gene

Changing e-mail address requires you to reactivate your account. An e-mail containing an activation link should have been sent to your new e-mail address.

Unfortunately, no email was sent.

Isn't there a way to protect the main (admin) account from such incidents?

Could it be that I don't get any email because Registration is set to Admin?

You should have received an e-mail, but with admin activation an administrator must reactivate the account in the ACP. If there's only one admin this is ofcourse a problem.

The code was changed in CVS, this problem will be fixed in UseBB 1.0.7.

Yeah, only one Admin and he can self-destruct. LOL!

Mind you, this happened while changing the email address via the user panel, I tried again (curiosity) rechanging it using the member edit in the ACP and this didn't cause any problems.
