Registration email not being sent

[MU_WebAdmin]

The SMTP option fixed it. Thanks!

We're running vB 3.6.8 here:

For whatever reason, our user registration emails aren't going out. I know the server was configured...

Got the following error, after the upgrade forum asked "Please Select All Usergroups That Contain 'BANNED' Users" (we selected none and just clicked "proceed," as the only usergroups...

Is there a way to block an entire domain (i.e., gawab.com, web.de, etc.) from registering? Almost all of the spam registrations we get come from a specific group of domains, and blocking them all at once...

[MU_WebAdmin]

I double- and even triple-checked them. Everything's correct; that's why this is confusing me to no end!

Should C:\PHP\extensions\ be in quotes within php.ini, perhaps? For example:

[MU_WebAdmin]

Yes. Still getting a "not found" error....

[MU_WebAdmin]

Done. Now we're getting a new error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imagecreatetruecolor() in C:\Inetpub\webs\mustangs2\forums\includes\class_image.php on line 1604

Windows Server 2003....

How can it be enabled?...

[MU_WebAdmin]

Doesn't the most recent PHP installer (4.4.4) have GD support built-in?

I just doublechecked the IM path; it's correct. Permissions should be fine, too, as it was installed via the Administrator...

[MU_WebAdmin]

I've checked similar threads dealing with issue, but found no solutions.

Put simply, the verification image just isn't showing up. We're running PHP v4.4.4, and ImageMagick v6.2.9. Neither...

[MU_WebAdmin]

Alright, I'll check there; I know our PHP/MySQL installs went through without a hitch, but maybe something was left out....

[MU_WebAdmin]

PHP v4.4.4, and MySQL 5.0. For PHP, we used the .exe installer that has MySQL support built-in....

[MU_WebAdmin]

Our server admin is just as stumped! The whole situation doesn't make a whole lot of sense; everything worked just fine under version 2.2.9....

[MU_WebAdmin]

That's the problem; our server is located downstairs, in the same building. It's company-owned; there is no external web host....

[MU_WebAdmin]

That's weird...the previous version worked fine, and all I did was download the newest installer to upgrade it! Is there a way to fix it?...

[MU_WebAdmin]

Trying to run the upgrade.php script after uploading the new files results in the following error:

Database error in vBulletin :

[MU_WebAdmin]

Excellent. Thanks!

[MU_WebAdmin]

How can I set permissions so that moderators can post announcements? I couldn't find an option for that...

Thanks in advance!

How can I change the "vBulletin Instant Community" image at the top of my forum pages to a custom image?
