MyBB Community Forums

Hi everyone,

I have a relatively new install of MyBB (1.8.8) at forum.mikefay.info. My first time running a BB and my first post here.

I set new user Registration Method to "Email Verification & Admin Activation" but I am not getting an email when new users are awaiting activation. How do I get one?

Things that may matter:

• Admin email itself is set up okay because submitting a Contact works fine (MyBB sends an email to the bb admin, which gets forwarded to my personal email). 
  
• If I log in to MyBB as admin, I do get a notice that a user is awaiting activation. And I can activate them. So, they are properly getting to the place of needing activation.
  
• I looked at all the Logs. I do not see records of any emails being sent except for Contact page ones.
  

I'm not sure where to go with this. Can anyone help?

MyBB looks great. Thanks!  

Are you on shared hosting or a self-managed server?

Hi thanks,

I am using a web hosting company if that's what you mean. Not one of my computers. It's a shared server, not dedicated to me.
