it is based on the permissions....
I am completely missing this permission then. Under Registration>Settings, I have a check mark in the box for "Notify administrators when a new member joins". Under the permissions for Global Moderator (actually the permissions for all user groups), I do not see any setting that has anything to do with receiving emails when a new member joins, let alone having any group act as "Administrator".
I do understand that permissions control every interaction in an SMF forum. However, with all of my experience with SMF (admin/own two installs, installed, configured, and modded 15 others, am running multiple personal, non-published mods, and provide support for my friends, family, church, and clients for their installs) I cannot say that I have ever seen a permission regarding this. In fact, I never would have known about it if I hadn't promoted a member of mine to Global Moderator. I have always restricted moderation to board only and have never had a GM for security reasons. However, this person I trust completely and they deserved to have extra privileged.
So, that leaves me with my question. If this is based on a permission and I cannot find the permission anywhere, what is my next step? I want to know every time someone joins, but he doesn't.
Please advise.
