Starting v0.3.0, NodeBB will require a third party emailer to send emails on its behalf. This plugin allows NodeBB to use the Postmark service to send emails.
npm install nodebb-plugin-emailer-postmark
Be sure to activate the plugin in the admin panel and set up the proper API key.
First! Thanks.
first!!!11!!11!!1!!11!!
EDIT: aw damn, if only I was using a forum software that had streaming replies and instant notifications, I wouldn't look like such an idiot!
... first the worst, second the best.
FML.
I'm going to use this today. Wish me luck. Which reminds me, I need to edit those email templates. Do they support HTML?
They use andrewbars, so yes...
They will support language strings in a future version as well.
Nice!
Okay, and I've never heard of andrewbars? Is this like a bleeding-edge state-of-the-art framework?
Oh, never... mind. I just figured it out haha, I'm so slow. >.<

I was having a slow moment lol.
I know this is going to hurt but here goes, I do not see any where to email my users I have set up the postmark server pasted the API and restarted my site, I have looked at the help section on postmark but it's all about codes not stuff for none devs like me.
Hey @StuartH -- the emailer plugin is for emails like new user registration and password reset emails. They are fully automated.
At this time, we are not planning to add in functionality for you to email your users, so you would have to manage your own email mailing list (using something like mailchimp)
Sorry buddy

@StuartH I'm nice

this will subscribe your newly registered users to a MailChimp-List of your choice, as for your already-registered users ... oh well, here's a half-assed node.js program https://gist.github.com/akhoury/8294882 that will generate a CSV list of your existing users, which you can easily import to the same list on MailChimp.
ps: I haven't tested this plugin since 0.2.0 .. so, handle with care
EDIT: I just read that you mentioned you're not a developer, well, it's still easy to generate the list:
if you need help let me know, maybe ill make it a plugin.
# this is assuming you're on a linux or a Mac machine
cd NodeBB/node_modules
mkdir temporary_crap
cd temporary_crap
wget https://gist.github.com/akhoury/8294882/raw/2db16f4ea5dca49fd1546e1638a451fbe624ca7d/nodebb.emails.js
npm install async
npm install fs-extra
node nodebb.emails.js
# wait for it to be done, then
cp emails.csv ~/Desktop/emails.csv
cd ..
rm -rf temporary_crap

@bentael thank you very much, I will ask the guys to install on to my instance, and yes I can not code yet so if you had the time to make the additional plugin I would be grateful. I am looking to start learning coding, I know a little html but that's it atm, looking at the local collages to learn because if I try from home I will be easily distracted

I added a download CSV button to the user admin panel, thanks to @bentael
