First: Thank you for your quick reply and good support
1: it sends Emails, but just to certain providers (gmail works, freenet or gmx for example not) is there a way to make changes to that? Also is there a way to edit the email? i would want it to say that by reistrating they accept the terms and conditions of the website
2: thanks that helped, the ‘not functioning’ of finding other members was actually due to an setting not allowing free members to use the search function. But that leads me to the next question, is there a way to manually upgrade someone from a free user to an paid user? i want to test some functions and dont want to pay the paypal fee every time. Plus i would need to upgrade users manually if the chosse to pay with a dircet transfer.
