One of my forums is sending:

We're sorry, but we could not process your emailed reply / new thread.

That forum is closed and is currently set to not allow posts.

However
1. The forum is not closed. And yes I checked the Forum Manager.
2. The forum is getting posts so it is definitely open.
3. the message which should come if the "board" is closed is:

<p>Sorry, the board is unavailable at the moment while we are testing some functionality.</p>
<p>We will be back soon...</p>

Any idea where the first message is coming from?

It's being open is what I know. :)

It's where the message is coming from that I don't know.:(

Try doing a Search in Phrases for the text that is being displayed to the users. That can help you track down where it comes from.

And try disabling your modifications/plugins and see if you still have this problem.
Note: To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit includes/config.php and add this line right under <?php

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

Lynne,

Didn't know that I could do that. I'll put that in my bag of tricks :up:

I found the phrase, and as a result, what is generating it.

Thanks much,

Jim

ForceHSS,

I didn't realize that Guests couldn't see the forum.

Now to figure out where that setting is.

Jim

PS By "Guests" I'm thinking you must mean 'Visitors,' i.e. someone who just is visiting and not someone who has actually joined the forum. (That doesn't make the problem any easier, but it's a different thing to look for)
