The registration email will come from 'Hot Talker', it will probably end up in your spam folder as I had to spoof the hot email on my mail server only for the registration emails.</div><div><br></div><div>This is based on PHPBB3, a widely used BB with a lot of cool plugins that could come in handy in the future.</div><div><br></div><div>Feel free to have a play with it .. and see if it would be a useful tool.<br></div><div><br></div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><div>Regards</div><div><br></div><div>Mark Cupitt</div><div><br></div><div>"If we change the world, let it bear the mark of our intelligence"</div><div><br></div><div><a>Hire Me on Freelance</a>r </div><div><a></a><span></span><span></span><div><br></div></div><div><a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Mark_Cupitt" target="_blank">See me on Open StreetMap</a><br></div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://ph.linkedin.com/in/markcupitt" target="_blank">See me on LinkedIn</a></div><div><img src="http://s.c.lnkd.licdn.com/scds/common/u/img/webpromo/btn_myprofile_160x33.png"><br></div><div><span style="font-family:arial black,sans-serif"><b><br><a href="http://gis.stackexchange.com/users/17846/mark-c" target="_blank">See me on StackExchange</a></b></span></div><div><img src="http://gis.stackexchange.com/users/flair/17846.png"><br></div><div>===============================================================================================</div><div>The contents of this email are intended only for the individual(s) to whom it is addressed and may contain</div><div>confidential or privileged information.
