Don't Require E-Mail Confirmation



~Hack description


I always hated to confirm my mail address by registration.It is senseless.This modification deletes that thing http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif



You see the block where you have to type in the email address?It has the same purpose as the confirm password thing.I don't see the sense of having that.The email confirmation that sends emails to click on links to activate their profile still works normally it is not affected by this!

Can you just change your settings to not need email confirmation?

I think this will get rid of the second textbox at time of registration where you have to type your email address twice.

The one you're thinking of might as well be called email verification.

Yes, this only eliminiates the second text box that confirms the registrant's email address. However, that could be considered a level of security against some bots that register.
