protecting video behind LinkClick.aspx - but I still want to skip through Started By James Clarkson I need to protect videos and present them to members of a Role. The videos are in a Protected folder and can be accessed with LinkClick.aspx urls. But those video cannot be previewed/skipped through or rewound - they need to download completely first.

Office 365 SMTP Stopped working Started By Matt C I have several sites that were configured and working correctly - sending mail as expected - (all slightly different 9.x CE versions), right up until the last ~15 days or so - I'm not sure exactly what date they stopped working. Some use the DNN Feedback module, some using 3rd party module (Action Form). Now, none of them work, and thus far have not found any solutions. Has anyone else experienced this, and have you been able to resolve Thank you!	7	3042	2	2/22/2025 2:38 PM by 3ART Technologies Company

Changing SMTP settings creates errors with SMTP Started By amurraygbhu So I have been using DNN locally for a while now and SMTP has been working fine. My server is hosted on site. I use an SMTP relay on my local environment that sends the email to Office 365. For Authentication I use anonymous. I am working on moving my website to a web host and so I need to change the SMTP settings. I changed it to OAuth and tried to get OAuth to work. Not having much success, but that might be another issue unless someone has good documentation. I get an error that the URL Redir...	2	417	0	2/20/2025 4:35 AM by Timo Breumelhof Host (SU)
