May I ask another question on this issue? Maybe this should be in the "How do I" category rather than as a "Bug Report" - up to you...
I have resolved the BANNED USER issue with the check boxes in the category editor. Of course, if they are BANNED, I couldn't care less if they cannot view any of my ads. Therefore, they cannot get to the "Email Seller" button.
However, I want UNREGISTERED users to see all the ads. This is how we gain new users. They see the "Email Seller" button, click it and get the message: "Only registered users can contact sellers. Please · register so that you can safely contact other users." Excellent!
Now the problem: A user registers, but they and their email address are not yet confirmed. Therefore, they are "Users Awaiting Email Confirmation." But these unconfirmed users are able to not only "see" the Email Seller link, they can click on it AND send email to the other users!
It would be preferable that "Users Awaiting Email Confirmation" not be able to Email Seller until they are confirmed and/or approved. If I turn that group off in the category "view ads" section, they won't see the link to Email Seller, but THEY WON'T SEE THE AD AT ALL! What a turn-off to that user and they will most likely run off in disgust.
SO: How to prevent "Users Awaiting Email Confirmation" from using the Email Seller (contact.php) system while still being able to VIEW the ads? The same way that "Unregistered Users" cannot use the contact.php script?
