This is probably a pretty simple fix but I couldn't find it in the options so
I'm asking here. Just upgraded to 3.7 and had some people playing around
with the Friends (lots of happy people.) The issue is that the forum is sending an email when a friend adds someone to their Friend list but the email shows up as being from "Forums." It would be nice to be able to change that to reflect my site name so that people don't think it is spam.

Can someone tell me where I change that name?

Thanks.

Thanks for your help. I knew it would likely be something simple but I couldn't find it because it wasn't obvious. It might be a good thing to add a bit more explanation to the help text for that option. The help says that the name will appear on every page of the site and in other place, without specifying what those places might be. I saw that and yet didn't give it a second thought since it didn't seem to have anything to do with email.

Yea I will admit some of the help cues are really vague sometimes.
