AlexJ Posted January 22, 2023 Posted January 22, 2023 I have 10 pages of validating users.. any easy way to delete them?
Miss_B Posted January 22, 2023 Posted January 22, 2023 You can delete them all in one go with a sql query, but this method is not recommended. To do it properly, you will need a custom app.
Jim M Posted January 22, 2023 Posted January 22, 2023 Rather than manually performing SQL query (which would be at your own risk and may invalidate future support of related items) I would recommend setting the value to automatically prune validating members in ACP -> System -> Login & Registration -> Registration tab -> Remove unvalidated members Miss_B, abobader and Adriano Faria 3

Somehow i still see members from 2022. So i don't think it's working. Afrodude 1

Are they all email validating? Looks like that got removed from your screenshot. Manually validated users will not get pruned as the admin needs to make a decision.
AlexJ Posted January 22, 2023 Author Posted January 22, 2023 (edited) For each users which I would like to delete, I see below message: " Member has not yet responded to email change validation email " I had to remove the email ID in screenshot because, I can't expose their email ID even thought they are 90% spam bots. Sadly their is no easy multi-select. Any other options to delete users in validating status with zero post? Edited January 22, 2023 by AlexJ
Jim M Posted January 22, 2023 Posted January 22, 2023 Are you background tasks processing? Any System logs? If they are all email related, sounds like something is not processing correctly.
AlexJ Posted January 22, 2023 Author Posted January 22, 2023 (edited) I don't see any task processing error and noting in system logs. I have opened contact us to update site license from mysite.com/forums to mysite.com - As i moved content from forums folder to root folder. Does that cause any issue? Edited January 22, 2023 by AlexJ
Jim M Posted January 22, 2023 Posted January 22, 2023 The license wouldn’t prevent it from working like this. Are you using CRON to run background tasks? If so, did you update CRON when you moved your site?
Afrodude Posted January 22, 2023 Posted January 22, 2023 (edited) @Jim M I have it 1 week for more than decade, and I have like 10 pages of validations members too. I am using CRON to run background tasks, and everything else working fine but this one. Edited January 22, 2023 by Afrodude

We would need to look further into this for you, however the access details on file appear to be incorrect or missing. Could you please update these details by visiting your client area, selecting the relevant purchase, then clicking "Review/Update Access Information" under the "Stored Access Information" section. We look forward to further assisting you.

If you notice, there are members who didn't validation their email address since 2005 (18 years ago) where we had zero third-party plugins or apps. We started using third-party since 2018. That app you mentioned wasn't even installed and it has nothing to do with background tasks, and it's to follow and track members.

Can i pls suggest to open your own support request? I don't want your issue to get mixed with mine. Thanks.

Sadly, IPS doesn't have ticket system anymore to save their cost like old days. Plus new support team, quickly put's issue on other application. I recently faced that during this error: https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/471630-your-account-does-not-require-validation-user-login-error/#comment-2922819 Brilliant Discord Integration addon developer - mentioned it's not their issue but helped me to resolve the issue. IPS said it's the app error. Kudos to addon developer for helping to resolve the issue. For me, as a user, I just need solution and not finger pointing. I hope you understand. Thank you!

Also, if it was a bug, someone else could confirm it or even find out what causing the reported issue. Examples: This is why this forum is open to everyone, and if IPS wants to make private, it would just take them few clicks to do so. By the end of the day in here is a community like anywhere else, and we are just trying to help. I hope you will find your solution. Edited January 23, 2023 by Afrodude Marc 1

Our support simply works in a different manner that utilises the community first approach. There is nothing, in any way, related to costs. In fact we have the same ticket system used for escalations where needed, and where private information needs to be shared, and have the same staff. There is literally no cost saving in any way there. 14 hours ago, AlexJ said: Plus new support team, quickly put's issue on other application.

I completely understand your frustration. Please bear in mind however that most of the issues we face on a daily basis are related to 3rd party code and hosting environments. This isnt something that we are simply guessing. You mention there that the issue was related to the IPS application, however if we are not provided the information as to what that user appears to have found, that would never be resolved. We certainly want to resolve your issues. There isn't actually any advantage to ourselves either in batting an issue back and forth. It actually takes up more of our time to do so.
