Staged users unable to join the forum via invite, sign-up, or login

I have just given this a run-through on my test site and I could signup with a staged user:

  • Configure @support group to accept email-in
  • Send email to @support group from unknown email address to generate a staged user
  • Create an account with staged user’s email
  • Activate and confirm
  • Staged user is now full user

Is there something I could try differently?

(I’ll attempt the invite one now as well)

Update:

I have now tried it with an invite email and it’s working for me:

  • Send another email to @support group from a new unknown email address to generate a new staged user
  • Create a simple invite from /invite/pending page and send to staged user’s email address
  • Redeem invite in different browser as staged user
  • Staged user becomes full user

Any differences in your flow that could make a difference?

(also attempted with must approve users enabled, and works as expected)
