Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted October 7, 20231 yr My board is on 3.3.4. Emails for new PMs and PM replies are sent but none for new member registrations. I have tested by using a few email addresses. Is there a different email setting for new registration emails?
October 7, 20231 yr I only ask this because I have been guilty myself.... but did you check the Spam folder? 😄
October 7, 20231 yr Author It seems the email was never sent as it does not show up in "Track Delivery" in Cpanel. The emails for new PM does show up there though.
October 7, 20231 yr Author In the setting under Security and Privacy > New registration email validation I changed it from Admin Validation to User then Admin Validation and the emails are sent out to new members. This is strange, it would always send an email when it was previously set to Admin Validation on my old host.

Not really a fix but workaround. The new member always receives an email regardless of which setting previously.
October 7, 20231 yr Community Expert Version 3 has not been supported for some time so I would recommend upgrading to version 4. This not only should solve your email issue but solve a plethora of potential security issues which would be in a software product that is not supported.
