Send Validation EMail

FrankM

I am testing on my forum. So i have create an new user. Because an typo the mail address was wrong. So no validation email. Ok, no problem. I go to admin panel and will send an new validation email, but....

I think this can be better solved.

Just to confirm, you tried to send the confirmation email as an admin and got this error? I think we should allow admins to bypass the time limit.

Please do so, let me know if you want a github issue...

when we are having password-reset problems with users, that time limit also prevents us to send emails through ACP right away...

Yes, send email as admin.

@baris Have we given any thought to the havoc such could wreak on the Internet at large when an admin account becomes compromised? Maybe not such a bad idea to enforce some minimal delay?
