ok i am in strange problem now.
i am using 1.1rc2 in core configuration webmaster email address is "webmaster@*****.net"
and in Feature Configuration SMTP username is "admin@*********.net" when i try to change in Feature Configuration nothing happens page reloaded but it didn't save it.don't know why. i used admin@*****.net before as webmaster email too.ut changed now with webmaster@******.net.
i don't know why i can't change it.
Do you have anything in your error logs straight after you try to save?
Nope. nothing in forum error log.
Odd, it works for me. In the meantime you can force the change by running this query in phpMyAdmin:
UPDATE {$db_prefix}settings
SET value='[email protected]'
WHERE variable = 'smtp_username'
i tried and it says
You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '}settings
SET value='webmaster@*******.net'
WHERE variable = i replace
[email protected]
with my email that i want to use.
now i search it in phpmyadmin and found smtp_username as admin@*****.net can i replace that email?will it works?
any hope?
Change {$db_preffix} to the preffix you specified when you installed SMF. By default it's smf_ Also add ; at the end of 'smtp_username'

no luck,
cani change value manually by replacing email.
my db prefix is db1 so in Table: db1settings can i change value by replacing new email?
Yea you can do that.
-JayBachatero
jay need littel help in phpmyadmin when i select my forum db i found two types of db one is backup and other is new like
backup_db1attachments
and all tables and after that
db1attachments
and same tables as in backup .should i delete those backup tables?
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?
-JayBachatero
no its not fixed that why i am thinking to delete all those backup dbs.
backup_db1settings and all other backup_xxxxx tables are safe to delete?
EDITED: i deleted al those backup tables but problem is not fixed it shouws my password and in confirm password field it shows old password for my old email....!

I'm not understanding what you posted, sorry.
when i hit ctrl+F5 to refresh page while page is loading my new email is in the field but when loading is end it disappears and old email is in the field.
First time I hear this. What browser are you using? Try looking at it with another browser.

You're very welcome :).
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.
