when duplicate user signs up sends him back to beginning
« on: February 02, 2007, 01:04:26 pm »
Hi,

I have overwritedupes set to 1, and when a duplicate user signs up, their seq. number gets set all the way back to 0.

I like the fact that I don't have a duplicate user in the DB, but I don't think their seq should get set back to 0.

Imagine someone comes and signs up and receives some emails over the next month.  Then they are at a different computer (or for whatever reason) have to enter their info again.  Now they start receiving all the same emails over again.  This not only breaks the illusion of the emails being personalized, but it will cause them to unsubscribe quickly.

What's the best way to process a duplicate user signing up so that no errors are shown, and nothing is changed.

Thanks for a great product!
Brian

Hi Brian,

Try "ignoredupes" instead.  This should cause a success message without overwriting existing user data.

Of course, ignoredupes does not appear to be supported yet.  Please submit a request here and I will make the required changes.
