new accounts

Postby Fred » Fri Apr 14, 2006 9:59 pm

we are experiencing difficulties with new accounts. I think the latest version of phpbb requires SMTP mail to authenticate new accounts instead of using a default mail server. This is why you haven't received an email if you tried to claim a new account.

We hope to have this problem fixed shortly.

ok I think I just fixed the problem with SMTP mail and now you should be able to claim new accounts and authenticate with the email you receive.

Also, could someone please confirm if they receive emails saying they have PM's? I suspect it's the same outgoing mail.

I got my new password emailed to me just fine. I assume that would be the same issue as the new member emails, in the mean time though Step PMed me and I did not get an email(that would have been on April 10, so possibly before you made any changes I guess.
anyway, good work with the email work-around

yup. Anything before Apr15 would have been lost in the wires (i.e. no email would have been sent out)
