Quick fix for this issue¶

Quick workaround to avoid waiting for long ajax email checks on saving user profiles in backend (and also frontend registrations and user profile saves):

in file administrator/components/com_comprofiler/plugin.class.php comment line 1991 (or search for following string: there are 2 instances of it, second is already commented):

this.startRequest(element);

and comment it with 2 slashes before it as follows:

//this.startRequest(element);

Do same (add 2 slashes before) in same file with lines (2011 and 2019, third instance is already commented) having:

validator.stopRequest(element, response);

Next CB release will have a cleaner fix.

r1500 fixes this by not waiting on ajax reply to return true in all cases, as we have anyway server-side checks.
