your msg did not contain proper msg body or heading
 
and this is what i get
 
error '8004020f' /forum2/functions/functions_send_mail.asp, line 136
 
but when i press back i see the post i just did but is not the case with many of the users as their's some times posted and most of the times not, as this takes lots of time to post users are complaining alot....this is the line no 136 in functions_send_mail.asp
 
If NOT strOutgoingMailServer = "" Then .Send

Email addresses are only shown to the forum admin, not regular members.

It sounds like the problem maybe in the amount of emails your web host allows to be relayed through their web server.

Contact the mail server admin and ask about any settings and procedures they have for sending email.

That wouldn't work as your syntax is incorrect.

Besides the outgoing mail server should already be entered into the online admin section, if this is the case the change you have described wouldn't make any difference.

If you are using a localhost pickup you could try changing the following line to 1for CDOSYS:-

'CDO Port
                    .Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing") = 1

in admin now i try to change the email notify to off it doesnt do it and gives the error i posted in the above post...and after that now when i log out and try to logback in...by a user or admin account it doesnt let me...it accepts the username and password, takes me to the login test page and then when it redirects to main forum page default.asp im not logged in there...just the quick login screen..and ive asked my other users they are having the same problem....

and this is the reply from my server guyz for the email thing
 
We limit our server to send no more then 15 mails per SMTP connection. Also to ensure that all mails are delivered and not cause any SMTP issues, they should be sent at off hours (night) and at a maximum rate of 200 per hour.
what do u think of it?

As to your cursor error, it suggests that your import from SQL to Access is wrong and you have a corrupted database.

The anwser to your original question as to why you get an error when posting is anwsered in your last post.

Your web host has set a limit of 15 emails to be sent, when you post in your long topic it is trying to send more than 15 email notifications and the SMTP server is rejecting some of the emails coursing the forum to crash.

The only solutions to this are:-
  1. Change web host to one that allows you to send more than 15 emails
  2. Turn off email notification
  3. Manually delete email notifications for users on long posts so that less emails are sent

and well while copying db tables DTS made duplicate tables in database thats why it was acting in such way, thanks to sdf19 and you -boRg- got out of the problem :) and menually deleted the nitifications so no errors now..but really am looking forward to a permanent solution

This isn't really an issue with the code within web wiz forums, but more an issue you need to take up with your web hosts.

You web hosts in only allowing 15 emials through it's mail server is coursing the email component to throw an exceoption, thus crashing your forum.

The perminent solution to this is ask your web host to alter the policy for your site, or find a better web host.
