Why no message for new users?

houston

Hi

When registering it does not specify that you need to activate your account before you can start posting (e.g. show a message in a red box that account must be activated first). This would be very frustrating for users who register and then can't find out where to post a new discussion, meanwhile they had to go to email and activate account.

Why isn't this in place?

If you require email confirmation, an inform message will be shown to unconfirmed users.

Currently, an inform message box with a message about email activation being required will show up in the bottom left corner of the user's viewport after the user creates an account if the email activation requirement is enabled via the admin dashboard.

The inform message box is fixed to the user's screen, so it will stay at the bottom left corner when they scroll through a page on your website.

You can style the inform message box by creating a custom.css file for your theme and adding some custom styling rules in the file. For example, you can add a neon border around the inform message box, so that it is more noticeable.

For some users, the inform message box isn't noticeable due to their screen resolution being too large or too small. A page after registration with the message would be better than the inform message box for this reason.
