Why do I need to still approve users that I have invited?

AI-generated summary

Gordon_mrmoco asks why invited users still require approval, noting this change from previous behavior. Simonk explains this is due to a security update, referencing a meta discussion on staff-generated invites and the requirement for user approval even after invitation. No workaround is currently available, as noted in another thread here. Gordon thanks Simonk for the clarification here.

Users to my forum can be invited or they can sign up and then I need to approve them.

Previously if I invited them, they would simply accept and that would be that.

Recently for some reason, even after I invited them, they show as a sign up to be reviewed and approved.

Why is that and how can I turn it off? I invited them so I don’t want to then again approve them separately.

Thanks

Gordon
