Just in case users of this forum are unaware there is another very substantial thread about this mod here https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...151222&page=61

We are now running this on a live vBulletin site and I thought it might be worth sharing some of the issues we have come across;

1. We had a small number of posts by email that displayed the html code in the email - we seem to have solved this by switching to plain text in the settings.
   
2. Users clicked 'reply' after receiving an email notification of a new post, then cleared the whole email composition window and typed their reply, resulting in a new thread being created by EI.
   
3. Users accidentally editing the dashed lines resulting in the whole reply email being puiblished in the forum, rather than what was just between the dashed lines - I'm surprised this wasn't treated as a new thread by EI.
   
4. One user couldn't figure out why he couldn't type his reply between the dashed lines before he clicked 'reply', (he thought it was because he was using a Mac!).
   
5. Users have also experienced some formatting/line break issues, possibly because their email text has been pasted from another application.
   
6. We have noticed that some users tend to reply to any email with a completely unrelated post which belongs in another forum. In this instance we move the post, however if another user respond to the original post by email, their reply ends up in the original forum, rather than the forum the post was moved to.

Although all but one of these are user related problems, they should be considered carefully before using EI on a large, busy vBulletin site, because it could easily create a heavy admin load for the site owner.

I have absolutely the same problems. I have used several types of email accounts for the forum, I have used new "virgin" forum without any other mods, I have used several different options, but without success. The forum settings help script works without problems.
This mod will be very usefull for me, I have many old emails with information I want to place on board and it would be difficult manually.

I am using latest vB 3.7.2 and hostmonster hosting.

Who would be the sender of the post sent by email if there are two vBulletin users with the same email? [Such option is possible in vBulletin]. Or such emails will be ignored or the mod failed?

I don't know why you would allow two different users to have the same email address. But if you did I don't know how this mod would handle it. Try it and see what happens :)

Cyrix,

I have moved a thread from one forum to another and left a re-direct, both have EI enabled.

If someone replies by email to an email notification of a post to the original forum, sending it to the mailbox for the original forum, EI follows the re-driect and posts the thread in the new forum, but it sends out the email notification of the new post to subscribers to original forum (where the post no longer exists), and not to subscribers of the new forum.

Needless to say this is causing all sorts of problems!

Can you put this on the 'to do' list please :)

Thanks,
Kevin

I am not able to try, mod does not work for me. And why same emails? I am preparing new forum for several groups of users and I want test all features plus to place on the board some "old" email discussions and not bother real users with new correspondence and me with opening so many new email accounts. But these are only details... The most important is to make the mod working.

Hello, short question! Did someone translate coincidentally this nice tools on German?

Is this mod dead?

Not dead. Just on haitus.

Economy and real life.

Going through a separation plus having to get extra income where I can leaves me with little time to devote to this right now. :(

But it's definately not going to die. As soon as I get the time I've got alot planned for this.

Funny how time can be so very elusive though..

Sorry to hear that... :(
