Hi!
I am currently having issues with my forum. The issue is i am unable to make it so whenever a user signs up for an account they don't get an email, i know this as i have tried with other accounts and it hasn't worked. I have looked all over for help online and i have tried everything and i am still unable to fix it, here is the link to my forums, i have 2 forums so i'll give the one link for one and if it works on there i will do the same on the other. Forum link

Thanks so much

Can you check the mail logs in ACP > Tools & Maintenance > System Mail Log (in the left sidebar)? It could be that you have the wrong email settings set up, and if so we can find more information there.
'MyBB was unable to send the email using the PHP mail() function.' is what it says!
Ok, so it's possible that you don't have sendmail configured on your server. Are you using a VPS or shared hosting?
