New users (who have confirmed their email) do not get assigned to any role.

ITGuy

Hi guys,
I'm setting up my forum, and have done an import from PHPBB. It replaced all the default vanilla roles with the ones from phpBB, which is fine.

I have set "Require users to confirm their email addresses", and they get assigned to a certain role when they first register. But when they confirm their email address, they get assigned to no role at all.

I understand that they should be getting automatically assigned to something - Do I need to recreate one of the vanillla default roles? Or is there any way to configure which role new users get?

Try navigating to /role/defaultroles on your site and seeing if the correct role is selected in the first set of options. Let me know if you run into any trouble.

I just confirmed that the default roles were not set properly and I've gone and set them up for you.

Brilliant! Thanks for all your help Lincoln and Todd - everything seems to be working well now.
