Then we can conclude it is due to alternation :>

Well, the hacked email file is fine too. It's just when I apply the password change.

As for those that got NO email, they got one fine when I just sent a regular email, even WITH the hacked file... so it's something to do with applying the password reset.

So do you want me to send more blank emails or do you just need the one example?

Do we need to change anything to get this to work on 2.2.9?

Update: Even with a virgin email.php file some users aren't found by a user search so that's why emails weren't arriving. (I'd only tested one name before). Still, one user did get an email where they didn't before. :/

Conclusion: The 'emails not arriving' problem is mainly to do with vBulletin, not the hack.

Forget it Boofo,

this function "vBmail()" in email.php file is in vb 2.30, not 2.29.

This hack seems to be dependent on that function to work. The line in email.php v2.29 that comes close to this begins with $mail ... I had to completely re-write filburt's latest 2.30 hack to get it to work in 2.29!

Update on my poll situation. So far, out of 26 votes 23 say they had blank emails. I was one of the 3 that didn't.

Weird - well, the number is gladly low enough to change them manually.

I hope Cary can enlight us if he has the same issues, he is doing a big board.

Yeah, I don't trust poll statistics anyway. It tends to be those that have the trouble that feel inclined to respond to posts.

Version 1.10 is out, which is actually a bug fix.
Maybe this also solves your blank email problem. (Could also be that vBmail(); can't handle more then 200 emails per page, max!@! Each user it emails, it also does a query, so lower it to like 30 users per page to avoid timeout errors and maybe blank emails)

I see no upgrade instructions. Only instructions for a fresh install.

Is too tired to work it out at the moment. Will probably do that later. :)
