They are designed for the default style only! If you use any custom style, please check if all modifications have been applied correctly by looking at the numbers in the right column of the line with the modification name. If there is a grey or red number, the modification could not be applied thus making this add-on functionless. Contact us or your style designer to solve those issues!

USER MANUAL:

The user of your XenForo forum is presented with a new link in his account settings and his account navigation drop down reading "Delete Your Account".

If the user clicks this link, he can read an information about deleting his account and what will change or not change after deletion. Eg. he will be informed that all written and uploaded content will stay even after the deletion of his account. If you opted to change the attribution of all content, he will be informed about that also.

He will further be informed that his account will stay in a "Pending Deletion" state for the period of time you set up in the options ("Grace Period"). During this state he cannot access any areas at your site and cannot perform any action at all. But he can cancel the deletion request any time during this period.

To perform the deletion request the user is asked about a reason for his deletion request and his password for confirmation.

To perform a cancelation of the pending deletion request the user is asked about his password for confirmation.
