Looks like this edit was wrong in sendtopic.php

Should be

Code Select

if (filter_var($_POST['y_email'], FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL) === false

Edited to fix code tag (not sure why it wasn't done before now) ~ Steve

Thanks for the confirmation and the fix; It solved the issue for me/my members. Presumably this will be fixed in the next rev of SMF ???
