(there was an earlier thread about this but is old now so can't reply: http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/browse_thread/thread/e8a948848ef85c72)
On registration a verification email is sent but nothing is flashed to user. (Flash is working for other operations.) I tried adding: auth.settings.register_onaccept = lambda form: session.flash = 'Account activation settings have been emailed' but still don't receive a flash message. Are there any setting that would disable flash here? In case so these are my auth.settings: auth.settings.registration_requires_verification = True auth.settings.reset_password_requires_verification = True auth.settings.registration_requires_approval = False auth.settings.actions_disabled.append('profile') auth.settings.captcha = None auth.settings.register_next = URL(r=request, c='default', f='index') Richard
