thanks casiepa. i agree with you on open source, but that is a separate issue. if my comments were taken as slamming bbpress, that was not intended. i am just direct and make my comments based on the results i am getting. i do not have issue with anything else on the site and all other email notifications are working. on the other hand, it is worth noting that i believe i have isolated the problem. i will post here on the details if all tests work out correctly.
No. I just installed it and am running the latest version of wordpress. I have not used it before, but it seems rather clunky to be honest and I am no novice. This is the first site where I have required a forum, so it is not a good first impression. It has been around a long time and I am surprised it is so dodgy. The site on which I am using it is live, so I must a wait until later to try to deactivate several plugins, but I will let you know what happens after I do. I see a lot of replies on this and many plugin suggestions for something that should be very, very simple. I will wait and see.
I am getting the same problem and this is clearly a massive one. I cannot get an email to work from the system at all. Horrible. If I cannot resolve, will move to another platform. Thought this was supposed to work seamlessly with wordpress. Not the first time I have seen it and it won’t be the last. Will watch this thread with interest. Maybe I will even get an email of a reply!
