That is suchs a standard feature.

The most of email sending issues are server and site-specific issues so we can't help in these cases. We have a good list for website admins to find the reason and fix it. Please read this FAQ topic:

I am sorry I haven't been back to respond to your suggestion. That wasn't exactly what i wanted :-). I have a few users who didn't recieve their e-mail to set their password. So they can't activate their accounts.

Is this something I can do for them and how?

If you want to remove the "only active users" restriction for members list and members count in statistic you should use the new hook with this parameter: 

add_filter('wpforo_display_members_status', function ( $status ){ return array('active', 'inactive', 'banned'); });

once you put this hook in your active WordPress theme functions.php, you should navigate to Dashboard > Forums > Dashboard and click the  button. If you have a WordPress child theme, you should only put this code in the child theme functions.php file.

Also please read the changelog here: https://wpforo.com/community/wpforo-announcements/wpforo-1-7-3-is-released/

I have a user who didn't recieve their email. So his status is set to inactive. How do I change that to active?
