Hi, I'm trying to change my email in my member profile. When I click the update button, it says the new email has not been verified but no email to my new address has been sent.

Anyone else have this problem?

1st thing you should try is just to email a post to yourself.. make sure you have the mail function working...

if that works, then it's a good thing..

then you start checking further..

new member email verification.

Also tried emailing a post to myself and that didn't work either.

First thing to check would be:
Control Panel>> Primary Settings
Look for:
Board Email Address:
Verify it is a legit email address from your site.
All email from your site will come from that email address.

2nd would be if you have a alternative method to send email from that board email address.
Send a email and see if you get it. If not could be one of two problems:
The mail server is down.
The email address is blacklisted on your receiving isp.

Oops, posted on top of each other.
Could be if you are not using a native address from your board.
Check out.
Control panel>> Primary settings
Expand Advanced settings
Look for Use specified SMTP Server:

After the fact note.
As Per SD, Maybe your spam filter is blocking your own email.
I don't have a url so maybe he does.
