TestingSomething Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 The things I miss by not enabling admin validation! :lol: I think it is for email validation also. If someone registers, you get an email that says that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Management Matt Posted September 11, 2006 Management Share Posted September 11, 2006 I'll stick in an admin option."Sense of humour?" with a "Yes / No" radiobutton. IPB 2.2 now sends out the following email:Hello,You have received this email because a new user has registered!<#MEMBER_NAME#> completed their registration on <#DATE#>You can turn off user notification in the Admin Control PanelHave a super day!It is our aim to have IPB 3.0 WGAG compliant, XHTML compliant, CSS 2 compliant and be Gender Neutral compliant.

TestingSomething Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 No, it only goes to the Admin. I know, but I meant that the admin gets the email when they register, even if it sint on admin validation. That's what I meant. Someone else said he doesn't see that email becuase his isn't on admin validation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lupin84 Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 That's quite a nice suggestion and I imagine it's fairly easy to change. I've always thought it a bit odd. :) So yeah I agree I'd like to see it have a bit more of a unisex vibe. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Elliott Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Why the sexist language in IPB?Because he can. :thumbsup: Purchase a sense of humour and leave the political correctness crap where it belongs, erm no-where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupin84 Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 The boys are getting more upset about this than the girls! :D I don't see what the big problem is with making it a little more general. Couldn't it just say Hello Admin or something? Also everyone is saying it's a funny easter egg and anyone that isn't rolling over it needs a sense of humour, to be honest anyone that finds it funny probably has a very simple sense of humour. :unsure: Still, whatever floats your boat.

lupin84 Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I don't think anyone has "attacked" invisionpower. It's just a suggestion because that's what this forum is for, ideas for improving the board. I think giving the board more general welcomes (or at least in a woman's case, more relevant ones) is a fairly good and quite reasonable idea. Where did anyone say InvisionPower is oppressing women? That's just silly.Like I said, it's the boys that seem to have the biggest problem with this. :lol: Perhaps you all just liked being called Sir? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Management Lindy Posted September 15, 2006 Management Share Posted September 15, 2006 I really don't think attacking the original poster is at all necessary. :)IPB is a much different piece of software with a much expanded demographic than it used to be. IPB is used on sites ranging from scrapbooking and monster truck discussion to depression, terminal illnesses and on up to enterprise level support communities and more. Some take their communities and their associated roles more seriously than others, it's as simple as that. What's more, with a gender-confusing name like "Lindy" - I certainly understand the original poster's concern and it's fair enough. ;)Lighten up folks - it's only a suggestion. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strange_Will Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Lighten up folks - it's only a suggestion. :)As I said it's not the suggestion, and I think people will agree, it's so much how the suggestion came off. It wasn't like "Hey this should be a different way"... it was posted in a way you'd expect one of those screaming women that burn their bras and have to jump up and down about how they're a woman.Sure I understand, you're not a sir, it should be fixed... no I don't understand how IPB needs to "get with the times" and having horrible assumptions. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
