With the plugin, the forum will email you when a new registration is intiated.

The problem/question I have.... is there a way to list a date on in the table
that a user applied for the registration?

I get some users who register, but takes weeks to ever get around to
logging in the first time to complete the validation process. So their names
sit in the list while others who complete it, come and go.

I'd like a way to list the date so you can see who is not really planning on
coming back, having a problem, didn't get the comfirmation email etc. Either a
time stamp or auto-message to the admin to hit that person concerning
their registration attempt/completion.
