Hi, is it still the case that an administrator has no straightforward way to be notified by email when a new user signs up needing approval? My very small forum gets a post a month, maybe - I certainly don’t want to have to sign in myself and manually check for new signups every day if there is nothing to otherwise sign in for… and I obviously don’t want new users waiting a month to be approved! Very unlikely to improve usage that way.  
Surely administrator notifications would be pretty fundamental ? If not implemented, this may be a deal breaker for Discourse as my new forum.
