You seem to have other issues.  On the registration page, when I click submit:
Code: [Select]
Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: php_hostconnect: connect failed in /home/fredo/public_html/gallery/includes/email.php on line 184

Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to mail.pagenpain.com:25 in /home/fredo/public_html/gallery/includes/email.php on line 184

Warning: fgets(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/fredo/public_html/gallery/includes/email.php on line 185

Email Error: Invalid mail server response (service not ready?):

If you're trying to use SMTP for emails, don't.  Just use the PHP builtin mail function.  It works sooooo much better.

See this FAQ:

why is that? :?
Your first three "must do" before you ask a question:
Please do not PM me asking for help unless you've been specifically asked to do so. Such PMs will be deleted without answer. (forum rule #6)

Simply because it works.

Too often people can't get SMTP mail sending to work so it's just far easier to set 4images up to use the PHP builtin mail function.  That's why it's so much better (to me at least  :wink: )
