Need to add that I tried my testboard, on the same site as my main board, and the email message to a new user is working properly. But my main board is still giving these email messages where there's a "\" in place of the IP address and in place of the password, as well as just before the Login Name.

Obviously something is screwed up badly.

By the way, when I did enter complete information at signup (i.e., including a password), that user is in the list of users, AND can login, and can post under that username (though it's an open forum where posting by unregistered users is allowed, too).

Somehow the email message to the new member's email address is not properly picking up the IP or login name.

Help? Thanks - Tony
