User Info Block, not showing Visitors...

On my site gamerbomb.com for some reason, its not showing how many visitors are online, it just shows nothing, not even a "0", any ideas?

I transfered the site from my old server, to my new server, and its not showing.

Also, Does anyone know why when people sign up, it wont send any emails to them?

It seems that on all my scripts that need to email someone for verification it wont send them an email.

I run php 4.3.2, thanks again!

For online visitors, there could be a number of issues. If you search the forums here, you'll likely find several possibilities and solutions. Also, it might help if we knew more details - like which distribution / version of PHP-Nuke you're using, and where you see the # of users online = blank (there are several possible places).

On the emails, there are also a number of possible reasons (these have also been discussed in the forums here). First, find out if your new server allows email to be sent via the PHP mail function. Your host should be able to confirm that. Also, have you confirmed that the mail is actually NOT being sent? It's very common these days for spam tools to block things like that, especially if the from email address (defined in your admin, preferences) isn't set correctly. Try registering to an email address on the gamerbomb server, and then with an account that doesn't block spam very well (e.g. yahoo) or where you can check the blocked email.

For both issues, it would also help to check your error log (usually available via the control panel) which could point you to the right direction for certain errors.

The issue with the email sounds like it maybe a problem with your new server setup, especially if you are saying other scripts are not working. Have you tried using SMTP instead, if you do a search here you should find some previous topics on this subject.

How do i find out what version of phpnuke i have?
The email admin@gamerbomb.com is registered on my server.
How do i switch email types?

Here is a picture of my error for the visitors and members online not showing up:

I also noticed this:

I did a test on another one of my sites, and it seems it will send email to people with @hotmail.com address, but other address it wont send an email to them...

However, gamerbomb.com wont send emails at all.

Nuke uses the standard PHP function mail() to send mail. Perhaps your new host has disabled this function.

Not sure about the members online...did you transfer all the tables? The session table?

I think there is a nuke version number in your nuke_config table.

Yes, I checked my database, and i have nuke_sessions in there.
I even ran a table optimize on it, however same thing.

My nuke version is 7.5

Just want to make absolutely sure there is no question here. Are you saying that you see DATA within the nuke_sessions table? It the table is empty, that would explain what you are seeing (I think).

Also, you might want to try Raven's replacement Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! block for this, although, I suspect that it might be using the same table.

Yes, there is data in the nuke_sessions table.
I see about 15+ rows of data....

Need to know what version of PHP-Nuke, then, and can you dump just the table structure for nuke_sessions here please? Thx.

My nuke version is 7.5

CREATE TABLE `nuke_session` (
`uname` varchar(25) NOT NULL default '',
`time` varchar(14) NOT NULL default '',
`host_addr` varchar(4 Cool

NOT NULL default '',
`guest` int(1) NOT NULL default '0',
KEY `time` (`time`),
KEY `guest` (`guest`)
) TYPE=MyISAM;

That is odd. That looks perfectly fine. I would give Raven's Site Info block a try. It is a better block anyways.

I think I am running his block
