Also, i don't have the "Forgot Password" link up top at the login boxes. |

see here:
http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=25811
download the file that I have a link to in that topic, it will allow you to use e-mail on Brinkster. You will have to have an SMTP server that you can use though. Brinkster does not provide one for you. |

The forgot password link will also appear once you've enabled email.
As for which server you should enter, thats something you need to confirm with your host.
You might want to read a few of the posts in the Help: Mail Configuration forum.

Have you downloaded and installed the files Richard posted a link too earlier this thread ?
If you have and it's still not allowing you to select a component then you'll have to do some code hacking im afraid.
Firstly though, the lost password link requires email as this is how it sends out the password to the user. Email to friend similar issue, no email no can do I'm afraid.
To get the Printer Friendly link working you'll need to edit topic.asp
Find this piece of code (should be around line 687)
if (lcase(strEmail) = "1" and Topic_Status < 2) then
if (mlev <> 0) or (mlev = 0 and strLogonForMail <> "1") then %>
<br>
<a href="JavaScript:openWindow('pop_send_to_friend.asp?url=<% = strForumURL & "link.asp?TOPIC_ID=" & Topic_ID %>')"><img border="0" src="icon_send_topic.gif" height=15 width=15 border=0></a> <a href="JavaScript:openWindow('pop_send_to_friend.asp?url=<% = strForumURL & "link.asp?TOPIC_ID=" & Topic_ID %>')">Send Topic to a Friend</a>
<% end if
if strSubscription > 0 and Cat_Subscription > 0 and Forum_Subscription > 0 then
CheckSubscription "TOPIC", MEMBER_ID, Cat_ID, Forum_ID, Topic_ID, "<br>", " "
end if
%>
<br><a href="JavaScript:openWindow5('pop_printer_friendly.asp?TOPIC_ID=<% =Topic_ID %>')"><img border="0" src="icon_print.gif" width="15" height="15"></a> <a href="JavaScript:openWindow5('pop_printer_friendly.asp?TOPIC_ID=<% =Topic_ID%>')">Printer Friendly</a>
<% end if
end if
%>
</font>
<%
end sub
Replace that with the following (the line I've highlighted is the actual changes, the line has been shifted out of the If then condition so that it doesnt require email to be enabled)
if (lcase(strEmail) = "1" and Topic_Status < 2) then
if (mlev <> 0) or (mlev = 0 and strLogonForMail <> "1") then %>
<br>
<a href="JavaScript:openWindow('pop_send_to_friend.asp?url=<% = strForumURL & "link.asp?TOPIC_ID=" & Topic_ID %>')"><img border="0" src="icon_send_topic.gif" height=15 width=15 border=0></a> <a href="JavaScript:openWindow('pop_send_to_friend.asp?url=<% = strForumURL & "link.asp?TOPIC_ID=" & Topic_ID %>')">Send Topic to a Friend</a>
<% end if
if strSubscription > 0 and Cat_Subscription > 0 and Forum_Subscription > 0 then
CheckSubscription "TOPIC", MEMBER_ID, Cat_ID, Forum_ID, Topic_ID, "<br>", " "
end if
%>
<% end if
end if
%>
<br><a href="JavaScript:openWindow5('pop_printer_friendly.asp?TOPIC_ID=<% =Topic_ID %>')"><img border="0" src="icon_print.gif" width="15" height="15"></a> <a href="JavaScript:openWindow5('pop_printer_friendly.asp?TOPIC_ID=<% =Topic_ID%>')">Printer Friendly</a>
</font>
<%
end sub
You can reset my account on your forum's to just normal again now too.
Hope this helps.

I don't off hand know of any SMTP servers that you can use, you could try putting your own ISP's
SMTP Server address in there and see if it allows relaying from an IP address outside of its ownership.
You'll probably need to use your own email address in the Administrator Email Adress field also
i.e If my own ISP is widgets.com, and my email is person@widgets.com then you would use
smtp.widgets.com as the Email Server Address
and
person@widgets.com as the Administrator Email Address.
Then to test it you could just click on the send to friend link and send it to yourself and see if it works.
If this doesnt work (quite likely) then try searching for "Free SMTP Server" or something like that on the net.
