Topic: Register problems

I have installed PunBB 1.0.1 on my site (www.kool.3x.ro/forum/index.php). I tried to test the registration and when I try to register it seems to be no problem. But I have never received an e-mail with an confirmation code. And I have register with another e-mail adress (not the one that I used to install punBB 1.0.1).

Re: Register problems

have you configured the mail correctly in the administration panel?
your mailhost, is it your ISP or another company providing the mailservice?
have you waited a while for the mail to arrive?
(on a free mailhost I use I sometimes get mails after an hour, or even longer, or not at all, some mails are filtered away for some odd reason, so I don't see it as reliable, and don't trust it for doing these things, and only allow subscriptions as those aren't critical to get)

Re: Register problems

What do I have to configure and where? I have waited enough but the mail stiil doesn't arrive. Do I have to configure any smtp adresses? How? Please help me if you have any idea and thanks for your support.

Re: Register problems

There another odd thing with your forum. There are multiple members with the same username (which isn't allowed) and there are members called "Guest" (which isn't allowed).
