Member registering but not showing up?

[StripesAndFins]

Ok so when a member joins my forum, there name shows up under newest member but the name isn't clickable and doesn't link to there profile. Also, they don't show up in the member list. This has happened to 5 people now and not quite sure why. ny ideas?

I am running phpbb 3.0.8

I ran a free forum that when a member registers, it didn't show up as the newest member or on the member list, but counted as a new member. It was only after they posted it showed up. Is that the same way on your forum?

 

[StripesAndFins]

No it shouldnt be

Are they validated? I know i think its IPB they dont show members who have not validated there accounts if email or admin validation is needed.

It could be a bug with phpBB 3.0.8, but I doubt it. You probably removed the who is online bit from index_body.tpl.

Can the user login? Does it happen with every new user? If they can log in and it happens with every new user then it looks like the chances are it is a template edit.

If their accounts are not active then their account does not show in the member list or on the index page until either they activate it or an admin activates it. At that point it is then visible and click able.

My forum does not require email or admin validation so that isn't it. Also, no members are listed under "inactive users"

The who is online is still in the index_body.html file. I am not sure where to find the .tpl file though...

It has happened with every new user since member 248 who joined December 28th. I am not sure if they can log in or not. They show up under "Newest Member" on the index page, just they don't have a profile and are not listed in the memberlist. Which file in the template do you think it is?

 

[CyberFreak]

Did you do anything to the forum around that time the problem started?

 

[StripesAndFins]

I think I might of been installing a mod around that time and I remember editing the ucp_register.php file, but I fixed it and it still isn't working.

Do you know what other file could be affecting it?

 

[CyberFreak]

What mod did you add? Is it still added or did you uninstall it and if so how did you uninstall the mod(as in through backups or by doing the edits backwards)?

 

[StripesAndFins]

The mod wasnt working in the first place so I removed by unediting everything.

try refreshing everything in the acp 😉

Tried that and all members who joined this year were deleted... Was that supposed to happen?

Sounds like a bug.

Sounds like a bug.

If it's a bug wouldn't it affect all forums running 3.0.8?

Depends, could be something which they did to the software while installing it :shrug:

 

[StripesAndFins]

But why would it just be happening now and not right after I installed i?

Ok, it is still happening even after refreshing everything in the ACP.
