Because you set it that way. No doubt you told it to require email validation. They all require validation but some do it quicker than others, some never can or never bother.
Ah right, I assumed email validation was just so that the user would confirm that the email they gave was correct and it would activate their account.
So everybody who validates their email I need to validate them in admin as well?
When it says users require validation, does that mean they have clicked on the link in their email and are just waiting for me to validate them or does it mean that users still need to click on the link in their email and I am validating them for no reason because I didn't know what I was doing.
Man, I hope that made sense, I am sure their was an easier way of saying that!
Well if you can decipher what I said I look forward to the answer
Ok, please excuse my small mind, I need to get this correct.
Users showing as requiring validation in admin, are these users that have had a email activation code sent to them and need to click on the activation link? So once they do that they will disspear from admin as showing they require validation
OR
Are they users that have had the email sent to them and clicked on the link and I still need to validate them anyway in admin.
OR
Are they users that have not clicked on the link in their email and the bit in admin is just as a manual override?

Hi,
Ok, I have a really strange thing going on. For some reason some users that are joining my site need to be validated where others do not.
Is it anything to do with their email address or IP? I am wondering why some users would need to be validated where others wouldn't.
Any light thrown on this would be greatly received.
Thanks Again

Hi Again,
Registration type is set to : E-mail activation code.
Don't know if that helps.
