whenever someone signs up in my forum i keep getting an error that says emailer problem debug... << something like that.. im not sure
Well if you don't know... how are we supposed to know? My guess is that you didn't configure your SMTP details right, and the board isn't able to send mails.
does your host providing smtp access. i m asking this becouse many free host do no provide smtp due to bulk email spam
Probably somewhere in your admin CP. But you should be the only one to know what they are. You're gonna have to ask your host if you're unsure.
