I have G2 Beta 1 installed, and configured for multi-site. My ISP requires me to use their SMTP server, and requires authentication, so I have to configure the smtp/email settings.

On both sites, when I update the smtp/email username setting, and press save, the old value will come back when the page refreshes. Checking the mysql database, the value has been changed. Logging out, and back in, the page will still come back with the old value. Even restarting the browser doesn't help.

On my first site, email notifications for new user registrations are working fine, but on the second site, they don't, even though it reports success. I have confirmed the confirmation policy is "Activation by admin", and the e-mail admin box is checked.

D'Oh! I didn't have the admin e-mail address setup (do I feel stupid now! :oops: ).

Also, the problem of the username not being updated on the screen only seems to occur in Firefox. In IE (ugh!) it works fine.

how can the form value be browser specific? is firefox doing some auto-form-input for you? try "view source" in firefox and see what value the form entry has there.

The two browsers are definitly behaving differently, but after looking at the page source, I think this is a Firefox problem, not G2.

In the page source, the userid is correct in the form, but is being incorrectly displayed by Firefox.
