Title: Members aren't receiving Activation Email
Post by: TCGDesign on January 17, 2011, 01:42:34 AM
My members aren't receiving an email to activate their accounts. Did I miss a setting somewhere on how to do it?

In Admin > Registration > Settings > Method of registration employed for new members > Do you have it set to member activation ?

does your host support emailing on it? there are some hosts that require you to use other smtp servers to get email to be sent from that server.

in admin -> server settings -> feature configuration mail type do you have php or smtp? you may need to switch to the other, you can contact your host for the information to enter for smtp if that is the option you need to try.
