Thanks Smartys

You were right, of course. :-)

I was trying to use the smtp host that I use with my ISP: smtp.vodafone.net

I should have been using the smtp host that my PGV/punBB hosting server requires: mail.nbepiphany.x10hosting.com

I changed that and all is working fine.

Thanks for sticking with me on the journey.

Regards

I have now succeeded in getting emails about messages I was subscribed to, and by reading the message sent have deduced what my problem is.

The email says,
"There may be more new replies, but this is the only notification you will receive until you visit the board again."

Because I am on a very slow connection, and I suspect the PGV server is slow too, I am getting the message:
"An error was encountered
Error: Could not connect to smtp host "send.vodafone.net" (110) (Connection timed out). "

1) Is there any way of increasing the timeout limit, so that the system has time to connect to the smtp host?
2) Because of the "only warn you once" system for sending emails, if the "could not connect" message happens once, the subscriber will not be notified that someone has replied to his post, even if more than one reply is posted. Is there a way of overriding the 'only once' flag?

Thanks again.

John

upgraded punBB 2.1.12 to 2.1.17 followingupgrade instructions, calling the 12_to_17_update.php in the modules/punbb folder using the browser.
Running on localhost on my own laptop running phpgedview. punbb files installed in modules/punbb

Calling http://127.0.0.1/phpgedview/index.php?mod=punBB

results in

"News

Help!

posting a reply to a topic that I am subscribed to, under different user names (both of which are subscribed to the topics)

So how do I request this now, Smartys? And when could I reasonably expect the mod to be available?

emailing via the form works OK

I tried punBB-hosting too, and the subscription emails don't seem to work there either :-(

I suppose there are no changes for the database, then, from 1.2.12 to 1.2.16?

There have been. You'll need to run the update script after making the code changes.

In the installation instructions it says copy this to the forum root directory. In the case of phpgedview, is this the phpgedview folder or the phpgedview/modules/punbb folder?

It would be very useful though to be able to automatically subscribe certain users to all new topics.

The situation is that someone has only GPRS mobile data access (i.e. not 3G) while they are away from base, so using the web is not practical. However, they still need to keep up to date with postings.

Would this be possible?

PunBB 1.2.12 with PhpGedView

As far as I can see emails for subscribed to topics are not being sent, or are not being sent to the correct address.

I am also getting occasional connection timeout messages which indicates the latter situation.

I note that there has been a similar problem in 1.3 beta which has been solved. Is this an easy fix?

What have I done? What am I missing? It appears to me that PunBB is not linking to the css file, so the menu is not being split from the function.

The site in question is
http://nbepiphany.x10hosting.com/phpged … ?mod=punbb

TIA
