BOINC Project Notices not working for us

[Andy Bowery]

Hi All,

Does anyone have anyone have an issue with the BOINC Project Notices not working? On CPDN we did have project notices working a while ago, but they are not currently working. We have the configuration set out in:

https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/wiki/ProjectNotices

And we have the 'News' board set to 'is_dev_blog' to 1 in the 'forum' table, and we have clicked 'Export as Notice' against the threads in the CPDN forum we wish to have as notices in client, however we don't get the notices in the client. 

Best wishes,

Andy Bowery

Hello Andy,

 

we had something similar in the past where also PM notifications and UOTD did not work. The email providers changed the tls system from 1.1 to 1.2+. If you are running phpmailer try to debug with $mail->SMTPDebug = 4; and see what error message you will get.

Andy:

I checked the BOINC test project and it wasn't sending notices either.

I tracked this down; it was because of redundant and invisible

forums named 'News'.

I fixed this in this PR:

https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/pull/6487

This is a small change in one PHP file.

Let me know if it fixes your problem.

(Other projects may have this issue too - try this fix)
