Templates Website Failure
We are getting more and more complainants about Template and Extension authors being unable to access these sites. To check the issue I tried register at the Templates site and received a totally garbage response. First it claims to be unable to send an email, then falsely claims to have sent an email to may address. See: https://www.mediafire.com/view/to0htjvimtowdi0/AOO_Template_Site_Failure.png/file Can you please provide me the contact details of the project member who has admin privileges for the Templates & Extensions website, or give me admin privileges and I will try to fix these issues and maintain the sites.

To check the issue I tried register at the Templates site and received a totally garbage response. First it claims to be unable to send an email, then falsely claims to have sent an email to may address. The issue is of course with the first part, i.e., it doesn't send out mail. It is a rather ordinary failure, it is simply unable to send mail since SourceForge disabled the feature (if I recall correctly; I looked into this in early 2021). And the solution is rather ordinary too: we just need to configure outgoing mail properly. Can you please provide me the contact details of the project member who has admin privileges for the Templates & Extensions website, or give me admin privileges and I will try to fix these issues and maintain the sites. Several of us have admin privileges, including Matthias, Pedro and me. I had started fixing the issue long ago but that got stuck in JIRA mostly due to misunderstandings. See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-21334 But I would suggest a simpler approach now: we can try and configure an account to be used for sending mail (even a GMail account will do) and update the site configuration to use GMail as SMTP. And then, if it works, we replace it with a more reasonable sender, like an apache.org address. Honestly I haven't connected to the sites in several months, but if you are up for testing I can find some time in the next couple days so that we can fix the issue. It is 100% reproducible and 100% broken so whatever comes out of this attempt won't make the situation worse!

Yes, I am more than happy to help out with any necessary testing.
