theres no special characters, its
[email protected]

i did have both fields the same, set to that. will try them different

how to get console log to show that?

Thanks. Can you give any thought to my email sending issue (see other thread).
My attempts to get it working has been going on years.
Everytime I mention it, I dont get any solutions, but it is a major problem for Nodebb.

The instances that dont seem to have this issue are using own internal post fix solutions which is a lot of set up

Tried more emails,
both Custom setups and using the named email providers in list

Error
Can't send mail - all recipients were rejected: 504 5.5.2 : Sender address rejected: need fully-qualified address

I made sure the FROM name field at the top is the same as the email

if I zoom out to 80 - 90% the delete options come on page and are actionable

My laptop has a HD screen. 1920 x 1080
Both problems I have is where the drop down list goes off the screen.
Are you using a higher definition monitor?

Ive tried emails with
zoho
yahoo
hotmail
icloud
All 535 errors
then tried gmail with app password but when clicked that app password link says cant do that with my gmail account.

Then I opened a brand new email with fastmail. That has the option to generate an app password which brought me a step further to this:
Error
Can't send mail - all recipients were rejected: 504 5.5.2 : Sender address rejected: need fully-qualified address

Because of the number of spammers, I had another try and implementing email.
(If anyone hasnt seen my posts on this, I never got email sending to work, so had to turn email verification off)
Anyway in AdminPanel, selecting Zoho email, and entering Username and Password... trying to send test email
Invalid login: 535 Authentication Failed

I cant reset an account password by email either, no sent emails show in the Zoho app

2 possible related bugs relating to menu options being off screen?

I wanted to move a post from Category 1 (say) to Category 7
The box that comes up (on PC Desktop) to select Category to move to, is mostly off the page, so cant select Category 7.
The box slider doesnt work either, only goes down as far as Category2 and its sub-categories

I also couldnt delete spam users via Admin Panel, the delete at bottom of action list was nearly off page and greyed out. I had to zoom browser to 90% to be able to click it

I found one of my nodebb instances has 50 users signed up that have just posted spam like "TEMU coupon code"
On AdminPanel/Manage/Users Delete is greyed out, at bottom of actions list.

Edit fixed, by zooming browser to 90% so Delete options came onto page

Great. Do you have an approximate date v4 will go live?

Ive had with email / verifying for years, so great if youve found some reason!

Those 'statistics' look suspect ...
Could really one whole percent of people say they like Bing !

Yes I tried that chat and it brought up a Red box bottom right of screen, but couldnt type in it

Edit: working now

yes 8chars/nums works now

what is level 1 /2 in password complexity mean?

Im registered now but there is no chat / message option on your profile page

Im trying to register, but it says my password too weak, even though I have 8 characters/numbers.
Does it require extra special characters?

The nodebb registration / email validation has been the thing Ive had most problems with over the years on my own instances

Yes it wont be included as an option until v4, hopefully will be main branch soon.
Im running the Beta with it in though.
I have an idea for something that can run on top of that, but my coding level isnt quite upto it. Do you mind if I DM you my idea?

Are you into the ActivityPub branch?
I can't wait for v4 of Nodebb with ActivityPub to go full release.
So much potential there

oh thanks for explaining!
if only the I stood for 'into sex' I might be able to join the group! Haha
