I have no idea what was going on and i'm going to pretend it didn't happen. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/a-question-about-inactive-members#post-14829 Sun, 30 Mar 2008 22:01:56 +0000 affacat 14829@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Odd. About 3/4 of my members are marked inactive. All of them have a record in wp_user_meta with the data:<br /> bb_capabilities a:1:{s:6:"member";b:1;}</p> <p>So... Yea. I don't understand quite what's going on here. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/a-question-about-inactive-members#post-14828 Sun, 30 Mar 2008 20:49:51 +0000 chrishajer 14828@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I *believe* someone becomes inactive only if you mark them inactive. You can change the user status by going to their profile page, then clicking the edit tab, as keymaster.</p> <p>I've never seen it happen automatically. And, on the edit tab of the profile page, there is a description on the bottom of what blocked and inactive mean.</p> <pre><code>Inactive users can login and look around but not do anything. Blocked users just see a simple error message when they visit the site. Note: Blocking a user does not block any IP addresses.</code></pre> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/a-question-about-inactive-members#post-14820 Sun, 30 Mar 2008 16:11:55 +0000 affacat 14820@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>What determines if a user is 'inactive'? And what does it mean?</p> <p>And, more importantly, how can i change the settings? </p>
