Title: Email notifications not working SM 1.1.20
Post by: Colonel Blood on November 13, 2014, 08:19:54 AM
Hi,

I'm an admin on a SMF Forum which has for a long time now not been sending out email notifications when members post in a thread. We've had moans about it from members but the guy who owns the forum and usually does all the nuts and bolts maintenance is no longer a regular poster and his last message was he didn't know what the problem was.

I know next to nothing about how to maintain the forum but I'm trying to find out what the issue is as we're losing members in part due to this issue.

We're running SMF 1.1.20 Here's the site http://pbphouse.com/forum/index.php

Anyone got any ideas what might be the issue?

Hiya! Welcome to the nuthouse!

Unfortunately, this crops up loads of times, for various reasons. I think the best I can do, to start with, is show you some of these, to have a look through...

Thanks for the welcome.

Apologies for what might seem an unnecessary new thread.

I did do a search and looked through a few replies before posting but none of them seemed to be exactly specific to my situation.

That's OK, mate! Have a look at some of those and see if anything works. I just showed you those, or we'd have to go through loads of things, again.

Who's your host? Some, like NoDaddy, are notorious for things, like that.

It is indeed Godaddy as I saw on one of your links actually.

So basically it's change host or the problem will remain?

If that's the case at least my conscience is clear that there's nothing I can do about it!

Ah. Well, you could try asking them, about it.

I wouldn't hold your breath, though. :(

Hi

I have the same problem and do not get moderation posts.

My forum is hosted by OLI

Any ideas?

Graham
