New membership with no ip

Worker Joined: Nov 17, 2006 Posts: 222

Been using 20202 for a while i have seen a few newmembership with a user name and zero ip number. the account user info show the same thing. SN 250 cant track it either,membership resigter came from gmail. i dont think the ip were excluded from sn. membership had to go by the gfx.This happen once in a blue moon i had to remove it from the table. I hope the new rn version will come soon looking forward to upgrade. Smile

That just means they haven't visited the forums yet, I believe. I have several members like that. They only read and/or submit news items.

Well I just did a quick look, and it does indeed look like the last_ip column is updated by the Your_Account module when someone logs in.

(It is also updated by includes/sessions.php, which comes from phpBB forums).

So I think I am totally wrong about that. I think that means the user clicked on the registration email link but never logged in after that. You probably could delete these people after a while. Sorry!

I just remembered what I was thinking of. I was thinking of user_lastvisit. That field is only updated when you visit the forums. It is a UNIX timestamp that is initially set to 0. I was looking at a list of users that had user_lastvisit of 0, and I was about to delete them, when I noticed one of them had submitted many news items. That came from phpBB so it is only updated when one visits the forums.

It is too bad Nuke doesn't have a similar field for logins. I suppose it would be easy enough to add....?

I found a new waiting user without IP but with a strange number in Ravens user block. In my previous version nuke 6.5. the IP Port doesn´´t work in Resend_Email but in Raven Nuke there isn´t any problem with this and therefore I delete such waiting members without IP usally.
