Registration Question

Using SMF 1.0 Beta 4 Public

Is there a way to limit registrations to allow only one user per email address?

That is the default; have you tested registering with an email address already taken by another member?

That is the default...

I have the opposite need.
I thought I saw it somewhere in the settings, but I can't find it. now.
Where can I change it to allow multiple registrations for a single email address?

Thanks

I'm afraid there's currently no option to allow multiple accounts per single email, but I swear I remember jack working on a mod to change this.

Yeah my err.
I know XMB has it and when I was tessting phpBB it had it as well.

If somebody is working on a mod for this, I sure could use it.

Hi, for testing purposes, I need to be able to take on the role of user, moderator, etc. but I am the admin and I can't use the registration process to make these accounts. Even if I'm able to make these users via admin panel, (which I didn't attempt), I need to test and demonstrate different methods of registration employed for new members.

Is this a setting related to cookies or a limitation of the software?

Thanks sincerely,
Grace

I just saw the previous post to mine (posted when I was still typing my post) about phpBB.

phpBB does allows multiple users on the same PC with the same IP, no problem. Not only for testing, but I usually post as a regular user and only login as admin when I gotta admin. So two users same pc/ip is important to me.

Also, maybe related, I keep getting error "page cannot be displayed" on this BB when I log in or do other things. Is there a cookie or other conflict between the two message boards? simplemachines and ours??

I'm sorry, but you're pretty much completely missing the functionality difference here.

There is no limitation on accounts with the same IP.  None.  I don't know where anyone gets that from, everyone who says that is both guessing and wrong.  Second, you can register accounts as administrator and give them whatever status and passwords you want, right from the admin center.  This is the preferred method when you are an administrator.

Now, there is prevention of immediate registration of a second account after another, if you do not do it from the administration center, but that's a very different thing.

Not at all related, nor has it anything to do with cookies or similar conflicts.  Someone else reported this same thing, but I have not been able to reproduce it; it may be temporary network problems, depending on where the two of you live.  Nevertheless, I will look into it.

Thanks for the reply! Sorry I misunderstood. There is another post about this:

I guess it was referring to the prevention of immediate registration of a second account after another. I'll try again, not being immediate anymore, to see if it will work.. Hey, it did! Thanks!

As for the "page cannot be displayed", happened again just now when I logged in. It actually does log me in, I just get the error notice. I had it set to keep me logged in here but it didn't. No trouble for me, just trying to report FYI. I'm on cable, so the "page cannot be displayed" response comes back immediately, less than a second, as in it wasn't due to a timeout.

Thanks again!
