    Dear friends,

    Congrulations for the fantastic chat!!!!!!!! Ive been searching for something like this, already in portuguese. Im contacting the person who translated, to see if they need help to finish it up.

    I just have 1 problem, the system informed that my mail command was probably not implemented and is not sending registrations via email. Im using IIS with PHP and mail is active. Any ideas?

    Funny how, if you use the option LOST PASSWORD, it works and sends the password.

    Thanks a lot!

    Atenciosamente/Regards,

      When you installed the site using setup.php3, did you check the box that states -

      (Generate a password and send it to the e-mail address the user enter in? This option require the 'mail()' PHP function to be enabled, ensure you can use it with the administrator of your PHP server. Moreover, to have it running you must define 4 settings in the 'chat/lib/mail_validation.lib.php3' script.)

      If you did not check this box, you can re-run the setup again, or you can go into chat/config/config.lib.php3 and change the setting -

      (define("C_EMAIL_PASWD", '0');)

      Change the 0 to a 1 and save. You should also than go into chat/lib/mail_validation.lib.php3 and make changes there to -

      $Paswd_Length = '8';
      $Sender_Name = 'your true name';
      $Sender_email = 'your e-mail';
      $Chat_URL = 'http://url_of_your_chat';

      Place all your correct information into these areas, and if this does not work, or you've already done this, my next bet is it's an IIS issue, I've had trouble sending email from a 2000 server at one time, but that's odd too, since you can use the forget password option and it works... go figure... hope this helps
