Indeed, quite.

The merge option sounds like a good middle ground, yes.

Oh, that's a good point. There's no secret embedded in their profile to verify themselves. I guess they've lost the account then. Without fallbacks providing proof of identity like secret words there's no way to know. In the case of your forum, since it's not a security issue like it would be...

Oh yes that can happen and I've done sillies like that too. It's called the human condition. :p I was giving just one example as I've seen this done on my forum and it wasn't a mistake with less savoury users. Other than this, would you consider my suggestion?

Interesting. Since a user needs a valid email address to register on the forum and activate the account, then they must have changed it later and either made a typo, or did it intentionally to prevent all alerts. This is pretty stupid and has now locked them out of their account. Presumably you...

Crikey that must have been expensive?! 😮 😮 And quite the management headache, too.

If you use AndyB's add-on above, then the account will be deleted each time they register with it. Drive them nuts! :ROFLMAO:

Wot, you prioritised your family's wellbeing over a software update?! 😮 Quick, get out the pitchforks! :p I hope your daughter is ok now.

Ouch, I'm really sorry to hear that and hope that 2026 is better for you all. I can promise you if you let people know that you guys are going through a hard time, the community will be behind you all the way. To clarify, of course I don't mean fine details as this is private info, but a general...

The XF apologists are out in force in this thread.

@The Chip Spa yeah, with Cloud you have zero control, as you fear as there's no access to the server. If the company goes down, then so do you, but I think that's an extreme scenario that won't happen. I'm also on Cloud btw, so have the same vulnerability as you. I suggest the following: The...

+1 to that.

A year ago, exactly. A lot happens in a year and the traditional style forum world continues to shrink, so there could have been a significant downard trend in all that time for all we know. Hence @Taylor J's fears have a lot of foundation. To allay those fears, we'd need an official statement...
