Nothing happens on my forum, I think I did it all the way it was supposed to be done but I don't receive any email. Can someone please help?

Man, you ROCK!! This is up and running on my board and almost everything is working perfectly. The only bug I've seen is that is this:

>> Create a new thread by email
>> Put a smilie in it :)
>> The smilie shows up fine in the forum
>> When you get the email back the smilie is a broken link
The http://www.yoursite.com/forums/ is missing. This seems to only be on new threads. Replies are fine.

Thanks again. This was money well spent for me. :)

Can someone show me an example of how to configure the fields on Forums & Moderators -> Edit ...
Maybe can someone suggest a way to test the system on a private forum before using it for all forums?

Thanks a lot!


Best Regards :)

Your forum requires registration... can you copy and paste your tutorial here, please? It'd be appreciated...

My permissions were set wrong. I just installed vBarticles. Sorry! Try it again:

1) Through your website control panel (NOT vBulletin), create an email address that makes sense for the forum (e.g. If it's a forum for PowerPoint, name it powerpoint@yoursite.com).
2) Go to Forum Manager in VB admin CP and choose the forum you want to use the email for.
2) Scroll to the bottom where the Email Integration is.
3) Fill in the blanks and save!

That's it! I attached a screenshot of my setting (has bogus info but it's how it should look). As far as a test forum, I just set up a new forum that only I can see and played around with it to make sure it was working.

Thanks a lot ChurchMedia for your help! Your post and your tutorial (I registered to your forum) cleared all my doubts.

I still have some questions...The links reported on the e-mail seem to be uncorrect (I use OE), for example:

the red part doesn't make the link work properly.

All the other links are uncorrect (spaces appear in them) but seem to work right.

When someone tries to answer via email, how long does it take to have the new thread on the forum?

When I run the cron job I get this error:

or

Is there anyway to fix them?

Regards!!!

I haven't had that first problem. I guess Cyricx needs to answer that one.

For the second problem, make sure you have IMAP installed and running correctly on your server. I just switched to POP3 when I got that error and it works great.

The cron job to post it to the forums and send emails runs every 10 minutes. There's no way to shorten that (that I know of).

Good luck!
