Topic: New user registration => confirmation e-mail
Hi,
A few users have signed up when my server's e-mail/smtp was down.
How can I manually activate them...or re-send them a confirmation e-mail?
Thanks in advance!

Re: New user registration => confirmation e-mail
Users are activated the first time they log in. The problem here is that the user can't log in because he/she doesn't have a password. Just reset the user's password and e-mail it to him/her.

They can also use the forgotten password feature to resend a password can't they?

I used this trick for one of my users and it worked well, but I noticed in the database that the activate_string and activate_key values are still set. Will this cause problems later?

Nope.
