Also this is where i am at now. I have not touched the site settings. its still set to 'public'. I have created a completion event on intial registration only. The completion event to send a Email is set up like this.
The Email to field is - $(Email)
in the body i have
$(VerificationCode)
$(VerificationCodeLink)
So now when i try to register , i dont get any mail with ver. code in it.
What can i do?
