Razor12345 wrote: @tikky is right, you have some kind of incorrect template change in which the line of code responsible for the special question has been removed.

Here is your forum code:



You have 4 dl tags, the last one is responsible for the phrase 'Send a copy of this e-mail to yourself'

Here is a screenshot of the e-mail sending page with the standard template profile_send_email



There are 5 dl tags, the last one is responsible for displaying the answer field for the special question.

I suggest you delete the template completely so that it becomes the default template.

Code:

<p>{CURRENT_TIME}</p>

No publishing icon in my version . I already said that .

I wouldn't have a clue how to write code tags . Sorry .

BTW . It has been 6 years since I sent an email . The email function worked fine back then . In the interim I have not even looked at the templates or had any reason to .

A couple days ago I tried to send an email to a user . I got this " The answer given is incorrect ".

Since then , that hasn't changed . But Now when I try to send one to myself . I get this screen ( below ). That started after I entered the code provided above . And continues even after I "Force the default templates".



That is new . I haven't sent 1 email yet .

I get this screen if I try to send an email to anyone else besides myself .




Thank you .
