Email is disabled for now — here’s what that means
Our hosting provider does not allow outbound email from this server. To keep things simple and reliable, the forums will not send any emails at this time (no verifications, password resets, alerts, or digests).
If the community grows, we’ll look at setting up an external email service (off-server) and turn these features on later.
What changes for you
How to stay in the loop (without email)
Getting help
Why we’re doing this
Running email from the forum server would be unreliable (and blocked by our host). Disabling email avoids bounces, spam flags, and missing messages. When the community is large enough, we’ll enable a dedicated external email provider to support verification, password resets, and optional digests.
What’s next
We’ll revisit email if demand grows. In the meantime, please use on-site notifications and check this section for updates.
Thanks for rolling with us while we keep things simple and stable. 🙌
