NodeBB 4.4.4 Bug - Invitation by Email
-
Hello! Here's another odd bug I've run across in the most recent version of NodeBB, this one I wasn't able to find a fix for on my own.
Steps to reproduce:
- invite a user to the board by e-mail.
- allow that user to sign up for an account.
- the user will receive a verification e-mail, but if they click it, an error message is displayed stating that there was a problem with the verification process.
This only seems to happen with invites by e-mail, I haven't observed it happening with users registering on their own behalf.
Thanks!

Oddly enough, I have checked the users list in the ACP and even though the error message states that the code was invalid and there was a problem validating the user's e-mail address, they are in fact verified! Very strange...not a huge issue as it only happens when admins sent out invite e-mails, but perhaps there is a fix for it.

I should note to anyone who is having this problem, you can disable invitations for users easily enough, under Settings>Users, set the maximum number of invitations to -1 and the button will not appear for regular users. Admins will still have the option to send out e-mails and the bug will still affect those, but it's a good workaround until the underlying issue is worked out
