    Hello,

    Due to a recent technical glitch, changing your e-mail address (and thus recieving a new password via e-mail) will result in your getting locked out of the system and unable to post.

    If you do this, please be sure to request your password via the e-mail address you just changed it to, and I will be sure to fire off your password manually to that address...

    Hopefully this situation will not last long, it's being investigated by our host.

    Alien,

    I'll be changing my email address in a couple of days once I cancel my earthlink account. If I change the address to [email protected] will that be a problem? If it isn't I'll change it right now.

    Hiya,

    It seems this problem may have been located and fixed.. I'm keeping my fingers crossed...

    Try to do it now.. I created a test user, and he was mailed the password.. I went and changed his e-mail, and it fired off the new password to the new e-mail properly...

    If you have ANY problems with your 'crossover', e-mail me immediatly at [email protected] and I will get you your password ASAP.

    Thanks for helping to be my guinea pig! .

    This is odd, worked for me at first, going to run some more tests. Seems it's still not completely functional.

    Growl.

    So far, it seems all new registrations are recieving passwords okay, but still nothing sent to them when they MODIFY their e-mail addresses in their profile (and thus get a new randomly selected password mailed to them for verification).

    Also, the E-mail Notification function (if you select this, you are e-mailed each time someone responds to a thread you started) is not functioning either.

    It is not a script code issue, since I use this exact setup on another provider using all the same code for test purposes before letting new scripts go live here.

    All 3 E-mail functions work properly on my other provider I use for testing.

    My host is continuing to investigate. Thank you for your patience.

    Be sure to use /usr/sbin/sendmail

    This is what John told me.

    He's really confused, he really has no idea why it isn't functioning after he had an engineer or whatever look at it...

    Hmm, this isn't good.

    Yeah so was I. That's generally what everyone is told to use, however I think maybe another was installed by the engineer playing around with things...

    Hi there! I'm new and just wanted to let you know that I receive my password by email just fine. I also went in and edited my profile to change the password to something I can remember (on a somewhat regular basis). So far so good!
