A few folks, including myself, in this thread:
http://www.poi-factory.com/node/54716#comment-579087
were trying to use the contact button to send a private email. It appears email is not being sent, even when the send myself a copy is checked nothing happens. Is this a known problem and something that can be fixed?
I have sent Angela a few messages about RLC's in my area during the past few months, wonder if they ever got through?

Not working for me either
Has not worked for a couple of years, at least.
I can fill out the fields and submit, but it just disappears into the ether.
Also never see the copy sent to myself.
I have sent a few updates via Angela to pass onto intended recipient.
I'm impressed the forgotten
I'm impressed the forgotten password email option still works
. Means email is generally configured correctly (more or less). Would expect the contact portion to use similar methodology to send the messages.
Although, depending how the message is formed, it may be getting rejected due to sender spoofing. IE, my domain only allows emails to be sent from specific servers, if they're sent from anywhere else, policy dictates the receiving end should reject/discard them.
VPN
If you use a VPN or your ISP is marked as a source of high spam, I likely don't receive those messages. Since you have received messages back from me in the past, I would go back and use that email directly to contact me.

Switching away from Drupal to something like Xenforo is a viable option to keep the forum going, if it's possible to transfer the message database so Xenforo can recognize it.

Not using VPN and not sure whether or not my ISP is marked and any email we've had in the past is long gone. Did you get the messages about new RLC in the past month or so?
. 2 Garmin DriveSmart 61 LMT-S, Nuvi 2689, 2 Nuvi 2460, Uniden R3 radar detector with GPS built in, includes RLC info. Uconnect 430N Garmin based, built into my Jeep. .
Thanks!
I'll chat with Jonathan about it.

Uhh... ohhhhhh... *now* you did it, sb. /jk
"141 could draw faster than he, but Irving was looking for 143..."
Now I understand
I had sent in some updated RLC's several months back; nothing happened, no followup. I had even added my email for any needed contact.
I was beginning to wonder if there was some secret handshake that I wasn't aware of.
