is it possible to add a member from admin panel?

I have disabled the Join now section of my site, and I want to personally ad members to the site to have control over who joins.

is it possible to add new members to the site from the admin panel ?

if not ...

what would you recommend for me to do ?

no

hide the join form and use it

how do I do that ?

Can u give me a step by step instruction how to do that please?

Remove all site-side access points to the join page (such as buttons, login forms, etc...).

You're tooooo advance for me ...

Could you please give me a step by step instruction as how to do this?

i mean where do i go to remove the side-side point ?

how do i do that ?

I have a better idea: navigate to administration, settings, advanced settings, other, and enable invitation-only registration.

i did that, but how can i add a member from my admin back office ?

would you know how ?

You'd have to send the person in question an invitation to join.

second post after your first post
NO
you can not add members from the admin panel

wait yes you can add members from admin panel you just have to down-grade to d6 do be able to use that :)

Even Dolphin 6 used the join page.

he asked how to add members from admin panel you could do that in d6 not in d7

edit.
you know im always right

And I am telling you that in Dolphin 6, clicking the link to create a new account through the administration panel brought you to the join page.

So... DA DA DA DA!!! Nothing's changed, except that the join form's visibility settings are now changed to not display for logged in members.

Oh Jesus, here we go again. On a path to NOWHERE!

Why can't we just tell him to log out as admin (like I do), join as the new member (like I do) then log back in as admin and activate them?

In the future, when someone asks if they can add a member from the admin page, the answer is (and I want to make sure you hear this)

NO!

LOL ....

Hey, that's what I meant (though the answer was longer and more informative than it had to be).
