Member didn't get added to forum

One of my members said she can't register to the forums, which is obvious since registration is disabled for the forum integration, but I guess when she visited the forums it didn't register her for some reason?

Is there a way I can manually add her? Also I noticed in my forum's user database, the ID # 2 is missing, so no one has that ID for some reason.

Well first of all, check if your forum user ID and adoptable site user ID Matches for each user. If there is a mismatch, you have a problem. Note if you did not disable forum registration ahead of time and some users are on forums but not adoptables sites, this can lead to issues too.

Okay, so should I link all the member IDs up and it'll work?
I made the forum before members joined I'm pretty sure... but I don't quite remember.

Also, some users didn't register. Will it still work if I link them all up?

Or should I just open up registration and let them register manually?

Well yeah I should've made it clear that you need to disable forum registration, since mysidia script and forum script are linked by ID, registration from forum side will mess up with the Id association, which will break your forum integration. And yes you can manually fix up the IDs in PHPMyadmin, to link the users properly. But it's still problematic if the user is only on forum or adoptable site. The tweaking is possible, but tricky.

Alright, I linked up all the IDs and checked to make sure forum registration is off, but there's about 3 or 4 members that haven't registered to the forums. Will it automatically add them eventually or does it only add them when they visit the forum?

[Hall of Famer]

Well nope, they wont be added to forum eventually, the integration script does not have synchronization feature yet. But I think you can add users manually from MyBB's admin control panel, so why not create their forum accounts yourself and then link them with mysidia accounts?

That's fine, I wouldn't mind doing that! Thanks HoF!

You are very welcome, I hope it will work out for you.
