Title: Important: forum option not to be used
Post by: 1cec0ld on May 31, 2013, 04:22:09 am

I don't know if any of y'all have done this recently, but our current website hosting service doesn't allow mass emails to be sent.

If you create a new post/topic, and open the +Attachments and other options, you'll notice an option called []Announce topic

DON'T USE IT. It sends an email to all #### registered members on the forum, resulting in a mass-email warning from our webhost. I don't know if this was the cause before, but we got warned about it 2 days ago, and I recently un-suspended our account with them via ticket.

I think I figured out the mystery. Every time someone posts, it sends an email to the people who are subscribed to the thread. I was wondering why it wasn't lately, guess I know now. Not sure as to the solution though.

Solution: Enable Mail Queue (http://www.pokemonserver.net/forum/index.php?action=admin;area=mailqueue;sa=settings)
