Thanks for your submission! Before your content can be seen by other members, we need to create an account for you.

Also with a button below that says "Finish Submitting"

How and where is this sent out from? Is somebody trying to post something without being a member? If so how do I stop that?

This is for 4.7.16 version

Thanks

Yes, this sounds like the Post Before Registering feature.

 

Thank you Daniel, I have disabled it

To confirm, you have now disabled this, or it was already disabled?

It was enabled and I have now disabled it

I just applied the 4.7.17 update and now the area to disable the post before joining setting is no longer in the same place?

So where is it now?

 

Same place - but it's hidden if registration is disabled on the site, so have you disabled registrations?

I think I am getting too old to run a forum anymore, yes I was on my test site where of course I have registrations disabled!

 

To clarify, you now have the situation sorted?

Nah. All have days where you're like "wait, where was that? what is going on?" I've been working here close to a decade and still have questions like this some days 😄 .
