Hi Verónica, I have not made any plans to upgrade yet. Maybe if I have time later this month but I can't make any promises.

Hi there, Just installed this an doesn't seem to be working. I've entered the moderator's email address and that all seems to be working. Can I have it send the information to more than one moderator?

Hi @pierre, no account creation will not be affected by this plugin.

Hi @Dav, no only one moderator is supported.

Cheers,
Bas

I am on 3.7 and this doesn't appear to work - no notification message was sent when I created a new account.
