cannot send email to user

[dnb]

Dear Admins:

Another board member tried to send me email. The system wouldn't allow it. I tried to send email to myself and got the message "do not wish to receive emails through this board". I got the same result even when I set my "Hide email address" option to "No."

After searching at vbulletin.com I found multiple threads on enabling email. One thread (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=58871&highlight=do+not+wish+to+receive+emails+through+th is+board) mentioned the following:

Admin CP --> vBulletin Options --> [Email Options] --> Enable Email features? (Set it to 'Yes')

Would you mind checking this? Thanks.

It is set to Yes... I have sent e-mails to members on the forum fine before.. Try logging out or deleting cookies then logging back in.

hmm... didnt work for me eather.. Let me see if I can fix this.

[Ray]

not sure why It does not work.. Everything is set for it to work. I will contact VBulletin to get this issue resolved.

PM function works fine.

Hope you can get it to work -- not that I personally want to use it regularly, but of course it would be good to get the function going.
It's surprising that this wasn't noticed before.

(I just tried it again -- still no good.)

No progress?

I think it is one of the hacks that was installed. We need to upgrade the version of vbulletin. If i do this most of the things like quick reply ect.. will have to be re installed. So I will need more then 2 hours to do everything.

Not sure about this weekend because it is V-Day and she would kill me if she found out I am on the computer.

I will do it ASAP!

Thanks!

P.S. I guess we'll have to wait a little, DNB -- hope you can "hold that thought," although even by now it might feel like "yesterday's news."

(Which it is.) :D

[Ray]

I sent an e-mail to the vbulletin team lets see what they think the problem may be before we upgrade.

Sure. But don't expect much of my email; I'm sure it will be anticlimactic after all this buildup.
