I'm trying to activate the account of a new user on my WowBB forum who isn't receiving the activation emails. I recall that there is an SQL query that I used in the past to manually activate a user's account, but I can't remember what it is.

Can any of the mods help me out with this?

RJ

Edited to add that I'm using WowBB 1.7

This is it.

Replace the word example with the username of the person. It must be used exactly this way. Including the single quotes.

UPDATE wowbb_users SET user_activation_key='' WHERE user_name='example'

In Ultra you select them from a list and click the activate button. Just sayin...
