I am totally new to these forums and made an account the other day. For some reason I get the message that my account was "manually deactivated" when I try to login with it
The username was luminous, so if a board admin fancies pm'ing me to sort it out that would be great. Only reason I ask is that I am currently having to use a backup email address that may not be available in the future.

Apologies - I thought I'd correctly followed Aegidian's instructions for deactivating users where users had joined but never logged on after a week - I guess I didn't get it quite right - it won't happen again - apologies Mirthle/Luminous!

Deactivating after a week seems quite slow. Since the new board I often am deactivated (read logged out) after several minutes. There must be some kind of bug. Also the date of my last visit, that is displayed at the top-left, is rarely correct. Yesterday I logged off and on again and my last visit time/datewas correct, but after logging on an hour later, it told my last log-on was a few days back?
I've noticed that whilst phpbb2 correctly tracked the new items posted since my last visit, phpbb3 seems to be unable to manage this - I find that it doesn't accurately recognise that I have viewed a topic.
No problems with being logged off or the board remembering which topics I've read but apparently the last time I visited was Fri Dec 31, 2010 7:43 am - which is wrong.

No, don’t read logged out. Deactivation means the account is locked and can’t be used without being manually reactivated by an admin.

Are there others having similar problems?
I've not noticed - but I will watch my last log ons from now on - it may explain why some "active members" fell foul of my never logged on sweep - note though I did the differential between first registering and not logging on - the criteria being if you register and then don't log on in a week then you're probably worthy of a deactivation.
May have to resist the mass deactivations - although they shouldn't be need to now we've definitely cleared out some of the historical chaff...
