When I log out of my forum (I'm testing all the functions), I get an error message (see below). When I press back, I'm back where I started--still logged in. I tried with my regular admin persona and a test persona and got the same results. What's going on and how do I fix this?

I want to thank everybody who replied and offered to help. I'm impressed the depth of expertise here, and confident that you have my back when I have problems with my forum. AndyB and MattW helped me solve this email sending problem, and then some. Problem solved. Steve

Wow, I got a dozen replies in ten minutes. It's good to know there are so many experts here ready to help. One of the replies was from MattW, who has been my host for ten years. He informed me that I had email service available as part of his package all this time. I didn't know that until...

I own reincarnationforum.com, active since 1997. I recently took over the management of the Forum and discovered that new members aren't receiving verification emails. None, for who knows how long. Our host confirmed the cause: XF sends through PHP mail with a Gmail "From" address, so receiving...

I'm being messaged and asked to provide more info on my Forum by some people offering to help. It's reincarnationforum.com. It's called Carol Bowmans Reincarnation Forum because Carol, my wife, has written two books on the subject and is well known in the reincarnation world. She's being...

fshagan, Thank you for your detailed reponse. I'm looking at Brevo fand Zoho/Zepto, though I'm still a little confused. Claude is helping me. But at some point I might need to hire somebody to help me execute all this.

I'm taking over a Forum that has been online for decades, and on XF for ten years. I'm reading the manual, and learning the ACP. But I need help. I have full admin powers. XF Ver 2.3.13. Located in USA. It appears the member verification process is broken. I ask friends to try joining, as a...

We had a heap of problems when we upgraded from vbulletin 3.8 to vbulletin 5 on the cloud in February. What piece of crap! Almost killed our 20-year-old forum. I found XenForo, then found Claudio here as an expert at migrating vbulletin to XenForo. vbulletin kept sending him corrupted or...

Thank you, Martok, that was what I needed. We're still overwhelmed by the all the controls and new ways of doing things. But we're gradually appreciating the logic of the XenForo controls. Martok, your text is much friendlier than your scary photo.

I want to disable two-step for my whole Forum. We just migrated from vbulletin and we're having trouble enough getting members back on board. I tried looking in user group permissions but don't see the toggle. Help? I have ver 1.5.9 Steve

Can't chat now. But can you point me to info on the hosting?

I have a Forum on the Cloud version of vbulletin. It says 5.2.2 at the bottom of the home page. I'm extremely unhappy with vbulletin to the point of talking to my lawyer to see if I can sue them. When I upgraded in February, I had a thriving forum that had been in existence for almost 20...
