Re: User Registration and Validation is failing HELP- happened the day the site went live
I think there may be a bug in the upgrade install procedure - I've upgraded several sites over the last couple of weeks and I just tripped over this same problem today.
For a fresh/new install the email_confirm field is correctly set up in the users_users table but in all the upgrades I did it was missing - so I got the same errors when trying to add a new user for the first time today. I'm pretty sure I did the double run of the install correctly since everything else is fine.
Manually adding the missing field with phpMyAdmin does fix it however.
I've already posted this as a possible bug to the dev Tracker.
