hmmm i have installed a shoutbox but in a phpnuke site
see it at
www.pc-gaming.tk
abt the copa fax no. leave it alone dont worry abt it
well abt he users getting the mails the host u hosting at should be allowing email forwarding
to see that it does
in the admin panel
go to configration
in the email settings(last)
type your email address a normal adress
which could be a yahoo or a gmail (iam using yahoo)
and save it
next time a person regiters at ur site a confirmation mail would be sent to him via this address u put there
so no need to fiddle around with those smtp etc settings
NOTE: in order for this to work
u need to see that
in the configration panel
u put the right
domain name
maybe
www.888.com
and in the script path field maybe
/forum
see that these are right other wise the user will not get the right link
e.g when a person registers at ur site
he will get a mail
in which there would be a link
which will go this way
as per say the above confi i gave in the example the link would be
*www.888.com/forum/profile.php?mode=activate&u=3&act_key=******
if the link is right then ur user gets registered
hope this helps you
