I am assuming that the PHP mail() does not work on my server because when I send an email, nothing happens...I only get a blank page (and in the browsers footer it actually says 'Done' like it has finished loading whatever page it needed).

I think I may contact my host and find out if they are able to upsdate their systems for support of this forum and see if they can be directed your way for information.

One more question....since emailing doesn't seem to work for me, is there a way to disable it temporarily? Or do you plan on having that option available in future versions?

Thanks again!

Forgive me...I am a bit new to this.....I am a bit lost...is the error log file on the server itself? Do I need to download the file or is it availiable for viewing in the Control Panel (the reason I ask is because the only log I can seem to view is the 'Show Log' link).

BTW....Thanks for your quick response and help so far!! I really appreciate it.

Very nice program too!

Subject: Using SMTP email
Ok......I have set up the email info for using the SMTP email function as follows:

SMTP server  :  mail.mydomain.net
SMTP sender address  :  webmaster@mydomain.net
Username for SMTP AUTH  :  webmaster@mydomain.net
Password for SMTP AUTH  :  ********

My first question is do I even have this info correct? I assume these are the same settings that I use for my email client...I am a little unsure as to why I am still getting an error when I try to send email to a user. I do not think that I am able to use the PHP mail function (nothing happens with this when I try to send mail...al I get is a blank screen), unless my host has that capability, then I would have to look that up.

When I send an email with my SMTP settings, I get an error that says the email could not be sent, and when I look at the log all it says is User_error for the email I just tried to send with no additional info.

Anyone able to help me with this? I really would like to get this forum posted to the public without having to notify everyone that the email function isn't working yet.

Any help greatly appreciated!!

S.C.
