Hi Dayna
If you wish users to be created automatically, you should set "New User Account Activation" to "Self" in the first tab of
thegammaquadrant.com/administrator/index...&component=com_users
... typically the "New User Registration Group" should be "Registered".
In the settings of jOpenSimRegister you then can set "Joomla activation", "UserStatus Sync" and "Pwd Sync" to "Yes".
Like this, Joomla will send an email to the user when creating an account to activate it. As long as this link is not confirmed, both - the Joomla and the OpenSim account - are still disabled. When the link is clicked, Joomla will activate the Joomla account and jOpenSimRegister will activate the OpenSim account
