I am using 2.1.2 after coming from 2.0.13. I like a lot the new options that were set 'features' in the older version. However the programmers added a LOT more of the same old type of 'features' in the 2.1.2 version and have not allowed for optioning them out. I'll try to describe as best I can what I want to do.
Basically I want to run a list with none of the stock MM web pages. One of the biggest things I don't like is that almost every page gives a link to places that users have no place being. Case in point is the newly added confirmation page and the following admin approval page if your lest is set to confirm and approve. Each of these pages lists the link to the admin control panel page. That is a major security flaw IMHO. Why even list that in the general population of your site. I don't want all kinds of users and guests to my site to know the links to my admin pages. Doesn't that make sense? I THINK in 2.0.13 the confirm was a simply email that the pending new user replied to and they did not go to a series of web pages. I may be wrong but I don't recall this at all. Anyway it would be good to have it so all of these pages can be modified.
The best case scene for me is to have a mailto link on one of my web site pages where potential subscribers can click to start the process of signing up for the list. I know how to do that and I know the syntax to use. The list would be confirm and approve. The user would get an email with a simple line that say something about replying to confirm and possibly an address to report if he thinks he is being subscribed in bad faith. No long list of MM links to my site since I do not want to use them. Once the new user responds they will get an email (again with no list of links) that tells him his subscription is pending approval. The admin gets notified and goes to approve. No web interface at all and no mention of it. Can someone help me with this. Any patches of edits to the code to make this happen would be greatly appreciated.



Thanks, DB
