Trust messages and reply-to

Interesting. I didn't think that many posted here. How are "active" members measured then? Built into forum software? I'm just wondering if bots could account for some of those, but then there are said to be 70000 members. Thanks for the link, will check it out.

It's a variable which can be set from the administrative options, so it would depend on how they have set it.

New Avatars
Forum server upgrades
Newer versions of VB
New forums
New moderating features

Those are the ones off the top of my head. I'm sure there have been plenty more. :)

Ok fair enough, so avatars and new subforums are probably the only things that are visible.

How come the updating stopped 2 years ago then?

I notice there is now an auto-response from no-reply@ocuk. Just saved me from sending my reply to absolutely no one, so thanks - top job as usual :)

Weird, personally I think it's good practice to keep my software up to date, maybe that's just me :p

everywhere i've worked its been a case of not changing software unless there is a specific need to. that would be either a new version has a big fix that will make a difference or its going EOL.
 
Add a auto responder bounceback to the no-reply email address. The no-reply is there for a reason. The body of the email contain who it come from to reply too.

Instead of hitting the reply button make sure you copy and pasta the email address into the email field and job done. Never been a problem for me.

Browse to the directory where trust is on the server. Find mail.php, ctrl+f for a call to mail(), modify the headers parameter. Done :o.

PHP: 
<?php
$headers .= "Reply-To: $userName <$userEmail>\n";

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>

Possibly this, but there might be a call from the trust feature if it's seperate. Maybe a simple solution after all. :D

Thanks, we all know how the Trust system works. The issue exists for those of us who use email regularly and click "Reply" without even thinking (and we should be able to, to be honest).

My suggested Reply-to fix would have been perfect, but there is likely to be a good reason why this cannot be implemented so the notification from no-reply@ is just as welcome.

I'm not saying you don't know how it works, however what I am saying is that users are clicking reply without thinking. A simple 5 second copy and paste is fine.
