Question about new members joining

Should new members joining my board get an e-mail confirmation before they can post? I don't have my board set up to do member awaiting authorizations. I see people joining but no one posting.
Thanks!!!

Whether or not they get an e-mail to validate their account is all dependent on whether or not you set it do that. People are joining because they can't see the board and therefore have to join to see if the board is for them or not. I suggest opening at least some of the board to guest viewing so they don't have to join so only people interested in posting on your board join instead of the way it is now.

Thanks. I went ahead and opened it up.

Is there a confirmation e-mail that my members should be getting when they join from Zetaboards? My board is not using the member approval process. I'm getting told from some that they're getting this message when trying to post: "awaiting approval".


Is it better off to use the member approval process??


ETA: Answered my first question. Yes. Also found some of the forums were set to moderate posts and it should have been no moderation.
