I was hoping to be able to validate new users and messages before they are posted to the guestbook. However, in the settings, when I select Require validation by admin for registration type and yes to Notify admin via email of items pending validation, and yes to notify admin of all new entries, I only get an email if there is a new entry.
Is there no way to preview/approve the entries before they are posted?
Maybe you're confusing member and entry validation. If I recall, you need to go to manage usergroups to require validation of entries.
I can't say I've heard of anyone being unable to require validation of entries, but if there really is a problem it's been out of development for several years, is released under a permissive license, and I'm unlikely to find time to look into it unless someone pays me to.

You may not get an email, but do they still show on the validation page?

Their message gets posted to the guestbook and I don't get an opportunity to approve or validate it. This is a MUST for the guestbooks that I use.
