My current settings....

"Account confirmation via email" - Enabled
"Account activation by Administrator" - Disabled

Now new user makes an account....but say email was never delivered and they contact me stating they can't activate the account because they didn't get the email. So since there is no option to resend the email, I must activate it myself for them. If I got to unverified accounts, I see the listing but it has the default setting of saying "active", yet it's not really active because the user never clicked on the link in the email. And, I tried to log in but was denied.

Now, if I click on the word "Active" and then select "Active" again, and click off the account, the setting has officially "really" changed to active and the user can now log in.

Hope that clears it up some John. Thanks!
