Hi! Thanks for this script! Took me a few hours to get into it (newbie). Is there any way to make the validation an automatic? Manual activation sucks a little...
cheers mate

The whole system needs a valid e-mail address... the account is working after the user has validated his account is this not automatic enough?

It's cool don't get me wrong, it's just when I sign up to a message board, the validation link allows me to sign in straight away, whereas the access_user_class script requires manual validation - which means I'd have to activate the account between certain times of the day when I'm awake. This might put visitors off. I don't mind manually activating the accounts but the my bones are screaming for efficiency lol...
cheers anyway
P.S. The validation emails to hotmail addresses don't get there. If I sign up using one of my NTL addresses, it comes straight away. Strange...
The emails don't go into the Hotmail junk folder or anything. Maybe they're severely delayed...

You want to activate and login in one step?
about the mail: replace inside the mail function the "\r\n" with only the "\n"

I removed all instances of "\r" in the following code from the access_user_class.php file (leaving "\n" in it's place), but hotmail addresses still don't receive a validation email.
