Email for new PM not working
I used to get an email when I get a new PM. That has stopped working for me now... Anyone else?

Still? Gah. Do me a favor: clear your cookies and log in again. Then subscribe to this thread and I'll bump the post later tonight and tomorrow.

Thanks Mark... Is it just me though, or everyone?

Me, too. Didn't realize it until today and started looking into it. Also, when people elect to email through the board, it isn't happening.bort wrote:Thanks Mark... Is it just me though, or everyone?
The last notification email I received for a PM was in early December and I've received a couple dozen PM's since then. I didn't notice because I was looking into the board a bit more frequently and the lack of emails just didn't break my consciousness.

Re: Email for new PM not working
Make sure the outgoing SMTP mail server settings are correct in the admin settings. If that SMTP server has stopped working, the board software won't succeed in sending email to anyone, and it may fail without notice.58mark wrote:I looked at all the settings tonight, even did research on the phpBB support boards for anybody else having this problem, and I can't see any setting that is wrong. Everything looks like it should be be working
Maybe phpBB has a support number or something. It would have to come from one of the Chishams

Okay, so I got a notification email for a PM this morning--the first one since December.

Re: Email for new PM not working
I'd say delete your cookies. I have no idea if that should work or not. What happened is the people who activate and approve accounts were receiving hundreds of emails so I was trying to figure out a way to keep that from happening BUT then it turned off all of them.
So, delete your cookies and/or check your personal settings.
