E-mails

[ColinB]

I've checked a box allowing members to contact me by e-mail, but I can't see where to put my e-mail address.

You must have already entered that info when you registered. The system will use that email address. I will double check the board is set up to allow emails by default.

I didn't realise this until the other day that if you go into your settings and change / update your email address to actually are also sending a request to re-register. Wierd. I discoverd it after I'd changed my email addy on phoenix. John tells me months later he didnt have to accept my req=uest to re-register. Of course I had no clue what he was on about and said I'd never requested to re-register - inadvertantly, I had.

Try the email settings again, I have made a change but whether its affected anything or not i'm unsure.

I can't see anywhere to put my e-mail address.

If you say I've already registered it that's fine - I don't want to change it !

And I don't want to lose my status as 'the first member'...

[Alan]

Its okay, underneath your profile pick if I click on the contact icon it offers me either PM or email options, so you must have the info in correctly.

[ColinB]

Yeah, I've tried sending an e-mail to myself.

It worked, although it said it was from 'Alan' !

Okay, that's not right.
It's supposed to say "Alan" for emails sent from the site as in mass emails etc.
Hang on...

[Alan]

Dont think its worked.

Sent you an email.
Tick box to say email myself a copy.

Still not here yet, must be 5 minutes ago now.

Quicker with the postman.

Might need to look at some more settings for SMTP for emails.

Mind you, you sent one to yourself, I might give that a go
