I guess if someone does nothing, the forum would just continue until a server fee wasn’t paid. Unless someone you have authorised in advance takes over and has all the necessary logins. For example the Xenforo account would be in a deceased person’s name so they would presumably need to open a...

I could test it with a spare account.

I need to deal with this. On one forum there isn't really anyone I could ask to take over (at the moment) - needs to be someone younger and regular IMO. And with a bit of technical knowledge. My members with technical knowledge are all older. I think I would leave instructions on who...

Thanks. If you set it to Email invalid, can they still login with username and password?

Edit. Solved. I deleted the old email address and set the user state to valid. If they log back in with username they have the option to add a new email address.

So I've now tested removing the email address from the spare account. And setting the user state to valid. It can log back in with username and allows adding an email address. So I think I'll do that - remove the old email address and set the user state to valid, so they can still log back in...

Ok I just tested this out on a spare account. Changed the email address. A notice comes up saying you need to validate. Logged back in as admin and looked up the account and the email address was changed in the account. With user state saying Awaiting validation (from edit). So if they...

This question is specifically about users email addresses. If I delete a user's email address in their account, can they still log in? Have established that the current email address is invalid. They are not contactable and user state appears as Awaiting email confirmation (from edit). Will...

Ok it looks like the old email address, still on their account, is no longer valid. If I type it into a google sign up (as if it was mine) it comes up with "this account doesn't exist" - so looks like they've closed the old email address. In which case I assume it would be an idea to remove it...

Presumably, if I could see where the verification email was sent, I could see the new email address. Assume that would show in the database? Where can you see verification email data?

Looking at the change log, they turned off all email notifications and changed email address at the time they left.

Thank you. The difficulty is not being able to contact them if they have changed their email address and are off forum. I suspect they have left and closed their account themselves this way. Although it's a possibility they have just left and changed their email address because they don't...

So presumably I have no way of knowing what the new email address is, if they haven't verified it? Surely the forum will have sent out a verification email - is there any way I can check where that was sent?

So do you mean if I just set the user state to valid, and the email isn't verified, it could cause issues somehow? Not sure how I could contact them if they've changed the email address. The only one showing on the account is the old one. Presumably that stays like that until the new one is...

As mentioned elsewhere, I have a member who has changed their email address while taking a break, but not yet confirmed the email address presumably as the user state says "Awaiting email confirmation (from edit). Anyway the result of this has been to basically close their account down and...
