Seems to be a long delay

I noticed that too.  But I just ignored it because it wasn't an issue for me at the time.  A few weeks later, the users who had not activated their account were deleted.  Perhaps there is a bug or hardcoded time limit?

The problem is that you need CronJobs or something who starts each day a script which deletes all user who are over the the limit from the database.
So at the moment the accounts were deleted if any other user activates his account.

Script for cron job?
« Reply #4 on: July 20, 2002, 10:51:47 PM »
Does any script exist that we can add to a cron job to delete account past the activation period?

It's not a big deal for me if there is no such script already.

No specific script exists at the moment, but see the code betwenn line 253 and 258 in register.php if you want to create your own.
