When a user signs up (ive got 4 so far!!!
) it says that they are awating activation but then they dont ever get an e-mail. The option in the Admin CP is set to e-mail verification.
Some servers aren't configured properly to send Activation Emails, or any PHP generated email for that fact.
I had this same problem, until I moved servers.
So, I'd suggest setting it to Activated Immediately, but with Image Verification enabled.
Can you use the mail() testing script here:
[Wiki: Help:Mail] (Broken link, head over to docs.mybb.com instead) and see if PHP can send the mail?
Some hosts dont allow to send emails (sourceforge for example).
In this case you need to switch to 'Instant Activation' or something.
I ran the php mail script and it said that the mail was not able to be sent. I am running my own server and am not sure how to allow it to send the mail and also what address will it use to send the mail?
If you're attempting to send mail through PHP, you'd have to enable it in php.ini.
Then you can use the PHP mail() function, or MyBB's built in mymail() function.
Unfortunately I cannot provide much elightenment on
how to enable in PHP.
I'd do a search at
www.php.net
