In step 3, there was one too many spaces before the line. In step 4, it seemed to be looking for one space after the line, but there was no space after the line. In both cases, adjusting for the one space allowed installation. Step five breaks the language file and produces the following error: Quote:Can't modify constant item in scalar assignment at ./Languages/English/Admin.lng line 1690, near "q~YaBB e-mail settings test~;" Missing right curly or square bracket at ./Languages/English/Admin.lng line 1704, at end of line syntax error at ./Languages/English/Admin.lng line 1704, at EOF Compilation failed in require at ./Sources/Subs.pm line 2388.

The new file corrects the problem with the language file being broken. But when I click the box in the e-mail settings, it will not save the setting (which could be intentional) and it does not send me an e-mail. Am I misunderstanding what it is supposed to do? (Could be ... especially with the day I had today.) If you don't know where you are, but you don't care, you're not lost ... you're exploring! IP Logged

But if your admin email address is correct and your email server settings are correct, you should get an email from YaBB confirming this. (Although you might want to check your spam folder.) If the email didn't get sent, there should be an error log in your server mail section that may be able to tell you what happened. Perfection is not possible. Excellence, however, is excellent.

I could send e-mails to other members via the board (with the mod to do that, so it went through the forum, instead of my e-mail program). And I also used the admin center send an e-mail to your members, and it worked, too, but the test e-mail check box did not send an e-mail, and there were no errors in the error log.

(Not to get technical but it may take me a few days to get back to this one as I'll have to set up a separate test install for testing mods on this server.) Another thought - can your members send emails to YOU using the default admin email address? Perfection is not possible. Excellence, however, is excellent. WWW IP Logged

I can log in with one of the non-admin test accounts and try to send an e-mail to myself, but what way or ways do you want me to try? Edited: OK ... this is weird. I used one of the other accounts to send e-mails to the admin, and chose to also send a copy to the sender. The copies sent to the sender reached the sender, but the ones sent to the admin have not come through yet. Which does not make any sense to me.

Now I have to figure out why e-mail from my forum will not reach me, and see if there is any way for me to fix it, or if it is just time for me to move along from that e-mail address. So the mod is fine, and my last four posts were more or less worthless. Sorry. If you don't know where you are, but you don't care, you're not lost ... you're exploring! IP Logged
