Staff-controlled email changes for XenForo
Eggy Email Change Approval adds an approval layer to member email address changes.
Instead of allowing a requested email change to be applied immediately, the member confirms the request with their current password and the change is placed into a dedicated Admin CP review queue.
Staff can then review the account, requested email address and current request state before approving or rejecting it.
Approved changes are applied immediately by the add-on. No additional email-confirmation step is required.

Approval safeguards
Only the current actionable request can be approved.
If a newer request replaces an older pending request, the previous request is retained as superseded rather than remaining available for approval.
The add-on also verifies that the account email has not changed since the request was submitted before staff can process it.
Member experience
While a request is waiting for review, the member sees a clear pending notice showing the requested email address.
After staff action, the member receives a one-time approval or rejection notice.
Approved changes are applied immediately without requiring a separate email-confirmation step.
