For months now;
No email for anything on my forum works;
Send a member a email; not work.
Registration notify administrator email; not work.
New post in thread notification; not work.
Does anyone know how to set this?!! It should be built in.
They are all being logged but not sent.
My members have left.
Please try the following mail test script:
[Docs: Help-Mail]
If this test says it could not send the mail, or it said it sent but you did not receive any email, even in your spam/trash folder, then the issue lies with your host. If you receive the email from this test, we will investigate the issue further.
Thanks.
Will learn how to create this file and do right I hope.
I really don't understand how to create a file, how to upload to where and where, what to replace????
Cant do it. I have no idea how, where to write a new file, what file to change... this is way to difficult. There a 2-3 php files in there al says some weird thing about mail. I don't know what one to use, what folder to go into.
I wil call hostgator.
just copy the php code given below and put it in a notepad. save it as mailtest.php (or any name). use a ftp client like filezilla and upload it to root of your forum. then from a browser access yourforum.com/mailtest.php
<?php error_reporting ( E_ALL ); $to = '[email protected]' ; if(mail( $to , 'Testing
mail' , 'This is a mailing test to see if PHP mail works.' )) { echo 'Mail was sent by
PHP' ; } else { echo 'PHP could not send the mail' ; } ?>
replace "
[email protected]"with your email address.
That looks like a completely stand-alone file to me that can be placed anywhere that your host allows php files.
God, all I want is normal email like every other forum. This is so weird. I know other people that have MyBbb forums and no problem. Others do have problems, especially with this e-mail thing.
It can't be anything I added because this problem occurred from the day I got the forum.
There has to be a MyBB tech (Creator) that knows how to list all the mail settings and where to look for them and their scripts... and where to go (precisely) to check them all and set it right. Why is there no manual for all this?
I also had to stop co-administrator because the software kept confusing us and logging me out...
Sorry guys but; does anyone know a better forum service? I will pay if it's good. A nice one with a video chat included and a how to manual... I would love to get a forum that can be edited in a website software like Dreamweaver... with built in HELP button.
When you use PHP mail, there are no options...
