I would like to change the message new subscribers receive before we approve the registration. I thought it might be a Wordlet. It isn't. How do I find out where to change th message that is automatically sent?

Hi Paul! <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

These settings are wordlets indeed - you can find them under "Email" in your Wordlet menu. Looks like you'll want to look at the ones that begin with mod_queue, etc...

Let us know if you have any questions!

Email is not an option. I looked at all options and went through each wordlet in each one. Options include: Control Panel, Date, Error Messages, Image and Primary. I'm using:

Your Current Version: 6.01

These have been updated to wordlets in the newer versions. You really should upgrade to a newer version as there have been a number of security fixes.

CanadianActor.com was set up by real webmasters. I do basic site maitenance now. What is involved with upgrading in terms of technical know-how and cost? Feel free to direct me to a site where I can read up on this. CA's budget is quite limited.

If your member's area access is current, you can download it from there. If not, then you would need to renew at $99 for one year.

Most of the maintenance can be done though the Control Panel. Upgrades only require you to upload files, check the file permissions, and then click the upgrade button in the Control Panel.

Since your questions could also be of benefit to other users, I won't answer support questions by e-mail, PM, or IM. Please post them to the board instead.

Until i sort out the Upgrade issue, is there some way I can change the content of the email that news members get when they fill out the membership form (before we approve them)?

I believe it's in vars_wordlets_email.cgi in your variables directory. I don't have a zip that old so I can't give exact details, if that particular file even exists <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

It does exist, and can be safely edited in Notepad or another plain-text editor. Do note that the upgrade process from a pre-6.2.1 version will require that you overwrite the file, meaning the changes will be lost when you upgrade.

I found it and opened it in notepad... Yikes! Interestingly, the info I want to edit isn't there, or I'm not seeing it. But maybe I was asking the wrong question. The email message that goes to new registrants contains header info that we have added to our discussion board:
http://www.canadianactor.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi

This information is picked up off one of the style sheets we have created. I'd like to change the style sheet for email messages that go out to new registrants (hence change that aspect of the message that they receive). But I don't want to change the headers on our discussion forums. I thought the email message was picking up the 'standard' style sheet, then I realized we don't use that. SO the email is picking up one of the style sheets we created. I'd like a separate sheet for these messages. Maybe it's in the CGI file and I just couldn't interpret it.

Oh, that's far easier to do...

Two possible solutions.

You could turn off HTML email, as it is one of the most pure forms of evil ever to be devised.

If you like HTML email for some unfathomable reason ( <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> ), you can change the style template used by the emails via the Template Associations page, which is available as a link near the top of the Style Templates page in the control panel.

Thank you so much. Another satisfied customer. I'm not big on formatted email either and part of the problem was the system was picking up our entire discussion board header! Now it's still formatted, but no graphics. Just a hot link and two lines of copy.
