Can someone please tell me where a button/link is to mass email members? We have purchased a full version of 9 and then downloaded 9.02 and now could not see in the admin area link to mass email members. Thank you in advance Gosia |

I believe that the new Newspad software that integrates with the forum provides this functionality and perhaps more. It is no longer available in 9.02 as standard. |

The mass email tool was very old, very lightweight, and often didn't work. It was also illegal to use in the EU and US as it did not comply with anti-spam and bulk email laws. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

| If necessary you use the MS Word Mailmerge facility to email selective members from tblAuthors. I did this with V8 and it worked adequately. |

BoRg, Thanks for your reply. It worked on our website http://www.ncwaterman.com/ - http://www.ncwaterman.com we have there 13,000 members who were received (via email) fishing reports every week. They are waiting on today’s report! How we are suppose to send them the report today? Is there any other way to send it from the forums? Please advice Thank you, Gosia |

Yipes!
Do you have the ability to use the old install of the forum? It would seem your immediate solution would be to use last month's list or get someone here who can write a quick script for you. It might cost you a few dollars but it might be cheaper than 13,000 complaints.
I'd offer to help but I'm swamped... good luck. ------------- “If you want things to be different, you must be willing to do different things!” http://www.DavidFrancis.org/?wwf=signature" rel="nofollow - David Francis |

| I already suggested MS Word Mailmerge - a standard bit of package software. |

The Web Wiz NewsPad software is a replacement to the mass email software and can be used as an add-on to Web Wiz Forums to sendout 1000's of Newsletters to Web Wiz Forums members. It was a to bigger project to release as part of Web Wiz Forums as it has 100's of features in it's own right and can also be used as standalone eNewsletter and News Bulletin software. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

I think it was a great suggestion too. ------------- “If you want things to be different, you must be willing to do different things!” http://www.DavidFrancis.org/?wwf=signature" rel="nofollow - David Francis |

Thank you guys, I will try it. Another issue, the image uploads still not working on my forums. Also the forums are so slow. It takes forever to move within…. Any suggestions?

Actually, I thought it was loading better than this one. But! It could have something to do with the 182+ other websites hosted on the same server. http://www.domaintools.com/reverse-ip/?hostname=ncwaterman.com - http://www.domaintools.com/reverse-ip/?hostname=ncwaterman.com ------------- “If you want things to be different, you must be willing to do different things!” http://www.DavidFrancis.org/?wwf=signature" rel="nofollow - David Francis |
