Is is possible to add a new tab under ADMIN to test the forum settings like email server? To test the settings now, I have to go to install and then click test SMTP settings, but I don't like that. It would be a very nice to have feature if we could add our own text to the test email messages. I'm currently hosting 2 different forums and I'm going to start one more. Sometimes I can't understand where the test email message came from. I know that i can take a look at the source email address, but it would be more convenient if I could add a simple string to the test email message body or even make it configurable to keep this string on the database once it's added. |
