    VB System Email From Name

    We are using the latest version of VB, 4.2.2.

    When receiving emails as sent through the "Send Page to a Friend" function, etc., the email arrives with a FROM EMAIL NAME that matches our FORUM NAME, along with the FROM EMAIL ADDRESS as defined in our email settings.

    Our FORUM NAME is not the optimal name for a FROM EMAIL NAME and does not match our main site configuration which is important for consistency, spam filter definitions, recognition, etc..

    How can we change the FROM EMAIL NAME to one of our choosing (probably the admin's full name, i.e., John Smith), and have the FORUM NAME as part of the SUBJECT LINE.

    For example:

    Thanks.

        What's the point of having a forum if you don't answer your customer questions???

                You set the email address under Settings -> Options -> SIte Name / URL / Contact Details. You also entered the email address it uses during setup.

                Sorry for the delay. By adding bump posts, you removed your topic from my unanswered topics filter that I use every Friday to make sure posts get answered. For faster support, you would want to look into Ticket Support which has priority.
