A few questions

1) Can you change the email sent to new users?
2) Is there somewhere you can be notified when a user creates an account. Right now im going into admin, website accounts, and looking for non-member rank.
3) Can we get rid of the top sections of the admin w/ the faq, upgrade/cancel/renew option.

Not quite yet, but it's something that will be implemented



You can force new accounts to require authorization by you and the officers, otherwise no. If you're talking for promoting them to the proper rank, be sure to have them click the "Wrong?" link located next to their rank in the "Logged in" box.



Nope.

The require authorization is what I want, however, I notice that from the user perspective, it doesnt look like account creation works. They just get bad login/password until we authorize the account. Shouldn't there be some sort of polite please wait for authorization message.

There should, but there's not. That is something that will be changing soon.
