vBulletin Registration – Condensed changelog

This is the short summary for operators who want to copy the registration-related changes into a separate document.

2026-05-10

  • Public wording now uses clearer registration language instead of leaning on the word onboarding.
  • The default Messenger and email templates are now more pedagogical and explicitly tell recipients to contact support@tornevall.net and the person who sent the invite if the code or link does not work.
  • The audit trail now shows more clearly when someone opens the registration page, uses the invite code to create a registration request, and reopens the personal registration status page.

2026-05-07

  • Invite keys can now store the recipient's email address.
  • Admins and delegated key creators now have a built-in Messenger/email composer directly on the key pages.
  • The same invite flow can now send a real HTML email to the recipient or a test copy to the current Tools account.

2026-05-06 to 2026-05-07

  • The Snöbollseffekten guide and the public wording now explain the registration flow more clearly step by step.
  • The key pages make it easier to see who received which invite key and where approved users should continue afterwards.

2026-05-02 to 2026-05-05

  • The existing-forum-account-first flow became clearer: the invite code can be stored in the profile field first and the Tools-side registration step can be started afterwards.
  • Invite keys can now be batch-created with more flexible expiry handling.
  • Default group 155 is now used when a registration flow has no explicit allowed groups configured.
  • History is stored when an older invite value is replaced in a profile field.

2026-04-27 to 2026-04-30

  • The public vBulletin registration flow and the related admin pages were launched in Tools.
  • Each registration flow got its own slug, intro text, rules, status page, and review queue.
  • Invite keys support both reusable invite links and one-time keys.
  • Public pages and status pages are available in both Swedish and English.
  • Limited group handling towards vBulletin was added so approved registrations can grant the correct forum group directly.

Practical summary

If you only need the most important points right now:

  • use words like registration, registration link, registration code, and registration status in communication
  • use the built-in Messenger/email templates as the starting point
  • always mention support@tornevall.net and the inviter when the code does not work
  • use the admin audit trail to see when the link was opened, when the code was used, and when the status page was checked
