I am having problems with some e-mail notifications on Forums.
When a new topic is posted, or a reply given the e-mail is From the member name with the correct members e-mail address , the Subject is "No Subject", and there is no content.
The Admin E-Mail audit log shows the correct content that should be sent.

However other e-mails ( ie the feedback form ) come's through completely correctly, as do other e-mails like nen members verification etc.

So i don't think there is a problems with the e-mails actually sending, but there is obvioudly a setting or something that I'm missing.

Note all the Forums are closed for guest access.

Any thoughts

That's really weird. Can you forward one of these emails to chris@ocproducts.com?

If you know how, also view the raw message source with headers, and copy and paste that into an email to me too.

So an update, we worked on this, and believe it's an intermittent PHP bug, probably only on Windows. It's apparently caused by PHP's output buffering system sometimes not working when called from a register_shutdown_function scenario.

From the next RC you'll be able to call this command from Commandr to disable our use of it:

Code

:set_value('avoid_register_shutdown_function', '1');

This should be okay, the only disadvantage is there'll be a bit of lag when emails go out as it has to process them immediately, rather than waiting until script end.

When you say only on windows, are you talking about 'only on windows servers' (hardly anyone), or 'only on people using windows pc's (just about everyone).?

Cant you take time off the project and go work for microsoft and sort there chit out? Then come back :D..

Windows servers, maybe only ones running Apache. Never had it reported before but it must have been an issue for a long time. Probably only affects a tiny minority of users.

If you're not affected you should not worry about it.

I dont worry, the server isnt used for much. Its not directly connected to the internet.

Back when we had to make most the electronics for experiments, it was used so we could store and share code/schematics. These days you simply buy a shield or whatever for experiments, its been a while since we have had to design and build that much.
