4.- Copyright

  • All outgoing newsletters are having a copyright link in the footer. You're not allowing to remove this line (The PRO version is without this copyright line).
5.- Important Notes
  1. You need to set a dedicated email address for bounce emails (from email) which you'll never access with any mail client. Doing it, you'll download the emails, and thus, they'll never preceed from the system.
  2. Most cheap GoDaddy hosting plans are not having the Mail() function enabled. If this you, sorry but this mod will not works in your site.

Not more than the Free version. eg editing the css file for changing colors, or editing the functions.php where is the code for each block.

If you want to send general mailings (don't with content from the Forums), then I've another product, the "Marketer", which is using mailinglists and HTML editor, so you can design the emails as you want. Don't look for it here. There is no Free version of this addon.

How many letter I can send at once?

I have 60.000 registered members, so this mod can send newsletter to them at once?

The mod can send it. The problem is your hosting provider and not the mod. It depends on how many emails you provider permits you to send per hour. The mod has a setting to set how many emails to send per cronjob. So if your provider allows you to send 1,000 emails per hour, and you've setup the cronjob for sending emails to run every 30 minutes, then you must set 500 in the settings.
But even if you don't have restrictions from your hosting provider, I believe that is not good to send more than 2,000 emails per hour.

The Pro version maybe has more features, but still has no more design features than the Free version. So, don't waste your money.

Sorry No. Advertisments is on the PRO version only. The logic is simple. Advertisments (as you honestly admit), means money for you. So, why not money for me? That's why I added this feature only in the PRO version.

Okay Chris I got my test e-mail functioning. One quick question if I let it search all forums for the popular threads it will pull one out of a forum I have set up as the staff forum which is only viewable by moderators, supermoderators and Administrators. Any quick fix to this. Also a little help to display my forums logo in the header. You can see the attempt I made and if you click on the blue img link you will display the picture.
