    Themes similar to Circle.so or a Facebook group

    Does anybody know of any XenForo theme that resembles something like Circle.so or a Facebook group? "Why not just go with Circle.so?" I like the modern discussion/thread style UX of Circle.so, but not interested in being dependent on their platform (& their monthly subscription).

    XF 2.1 Emails not being received (using NameCheap Shared Hosting)

    Welp, my dumb mistake. I had a Gmail address in the "Default email address" instead of the SMTP email I created. That solved it. Just out of curiosity - how would one utilize a 3rd-party email with XenForo email? Is there a plugin required?
