Call me stu-id if you wish. :)

Why is it that admin approved memberships do not receive an email after admin approval?

If it is something I have not configured properly, please advise how to fix.

I am receiving member requests and no confirmation email is sent after approval is made.

Verified by creating a membership. The initial membership request results in an email, but after an admin approval there is no follow-up email alerting the new member of acceptance.

Big Thanks

I initially used admin approval on the site I run, and faced the same problem. I would recommend switching over to no-approval and having the authenticated user role with very few permissions such as adding comments. As the administrator you can then assign further roles or block the account.

This way you don't lose your visitors while there interested. Not exactly what you want, but it works well for my needs. The issue with this, is that as the administrator you don't receive notice that someone has signed on. This is not a problem if like me (and I am sure most admins) check the site frequently.

Hope this helps.
