Do you have anything in your error logs straight after you try to save?

Odd, it works for me. In the meantime you can force the change by running this query in phpMyAdmin:


UPDATE {$db_prefix}settings
SET value='[email protected]'
WHERE variable = 'smtp_username'

i tried and it says   
       You have an error in your SQL syntax.  Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '}settings
SET value='webmaster@*******.net'
WHERE variable =

                      i replace [email protected] with my email that i want to use.

                                   now i search it in phpmyadmin and found smtp_username as admin@*****.net  can i replace that email?will it works?

Change {$db_preffix} to the preffix you specified when you installed SMF.  By default it's smf_  Also add ; at the end of 'smtp_username'

Well it's all up to you.  Those are backus made when you upgraded your forum.  Make sure if you are going to delete them that you are not deleting the wrong stuff.  Double check it.

BTW is the problem fixed?

Hit Ctrl+F5.  Does that change anything?  Do a recount of forum statisitcs in Admin > Forum Maintenance.

First time I hear this.  What browser are you using?  Try looking at it with another browser.

So, in the end, is this all coming down to not using Mozilla Firefox but IE7 (or 6) to edit setting on the board? I seem to be having a similar problem with information 'stuck' in the text boxes of Feature Configuration under Server Settings in the Admin Center. So far, I haven't gotten email notications to work correctly yet.
