Hi, I have tried to setup a private forum where it is the admin that approves who are granted access. I have followed this guide: https://github.com/YAFNET/YAFNET/wiki/Setup-a-Private-Forum---Admin-has-to-approve-new-Users When a new member creates an account, this member is being created (as newbie) - it's visible in the User section but there are not sent any mail to me (as admin). The new user are also not allowed to do anything in the forum - it says "No access". I have tried to changed the user from being a Newbie to a Member but without any luck. I'm running on V2.30 - has the procedure changed since the guide was made? /Pindsen

Yes the procedure is still the same [quote]it's visible in the User section but there are not sent any mail to me (as admin).[/quote] The email function is currently broken. and will be fixed in YAF 2.30.01 (Which will be out on Sunday!) [quote]I have tried to changed the user from being a Newbie to a Member but without any luck.[/quote] Does the "Member" Role (Group) has access to the forums? Go to Admin > Settings > Forums. And check each forum if the Access Mask for the Role Member is set correctly.

Site has been updated to ver. 2.30.2 but the email function is still not working - at least I'm not receiving any email. I'm using a Hotmail. /Pindsen

Are there any errors in the event log? Is the email correctly setup? You can test the email function under Admin > Users and Roles > Mail.

How do I access the event log? Testing the email function under Admin > Users and Roles > Mail gives the following error: [b]The SMTP host was not specified.[/b] I send from a hotmail to a gmail. How do I solve that?

Did you set up the forum email in the mail.config?
