Title: Canceling Accounts
Post by: ManOfBliss on December 05, 2012, 11:49:18 PM
Hello,

At the moment, if a user deactivates their account, I see there name under all their posts changes color, and stops acting as a hyperlink, where people can go to their profile to view their posts, etc.

How do I control whether people can deactivate their account or not?

And if a person does cancel their account, can they re-activate it later, like facebook, and still have all their data.

Thanks,
Timothy

If they deactivate their account then they would have to create a new one in order to register again. However there is an option to associate posts with a user. After they register again this could be done. It's under the maintenance tab===>Forum maintenance in the admin panel then to members.

Thank you.

How do I change the color of their user name as it appears after they delete their account?

For example, the user "Max" who deleted his account. How would I make his user name have the same color as the others?

The only way I can think of might be through the .css file.

Yeah, I'm hoping you may have more insight into what the element is. Because as soon as they delete the account, their user name turns in <p> content, thus changing the css color would affect other content.

In the index.css file find:

.poster h4

To that section add your color:

    color: #c06002;

That may not be your right color but this should work. This may be your color:

#B42F39

I don't understand this. The only Members tab I see is the one up by the Admin tab, and it takes you right back out of Admin.

Admin > Maintenance > Forum Maintenance has a Members option in it.

Oops!

I thought I was in the SMF 1.x Support forum. I didn't realize I could go to it, Search, and get results in the 2.x support forum.

Thanks and sorry,

Peter

Once you click admin members appears underneath next to maintenance.
