This is what my email and reviewer show:
^([a-zA-Z0-9_-])+@([a-zA-Z0-9_-])+(\.[a-zA-Z0-9_-])+

BUT, I tried to copy and paste the code you have and when i hit update, it changes it back to where it was! and I'm still getting the error: Email address must be in the form ' This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it '. error

Making a change to the config, and submitting the form doesn't change the setting? sounds to me like the issue is more than just email address, like the mysql user has read, but not write permissions to the database or something.

Try something like changing selecting a new theme... does that work ?

Thanks for replying so quickly Dewed! I changed my theme to Lockerroom from original in the admin panel and it changed the theme on the front end. BUT, I am still getting the email error.

Can I paste this email code in the actual file? If so, where do I go?

Ok, i found where to go to paste the code. I use Cpanel and I went to My PHP Admin and changed it there. It showed up in the admin panel, BUT I'm still getting the same error... Please help!

You would normally use the scripts admin panel to change things like this.. the same place you the site owner would enter sites etc .... the same place you changed the theme

Since you were able to change the theme, then we know you have write permissions to the database. So possibly you are actually making the settings change, but your browser is caching the old info instead of showing what the server actually has..

Try this . . .

Open notepad.
From the Format menu, make sure wordwrap is NOT checked.

Copy this . . .

Code:

^[A-Za-z0-9](([_\.\-]?[a-zA-Z0-9]+)*)@([A-Za-z0-9]+)(([\.\-]?[a-zA-Z0-9]+)*)\.([A-Za-z]{2,})$

Paste it into notepad, make sure there are no spaces before or after, and it's all on one line. Log into the admin panel for your installation.. NOT CPANEL.. http://ahappychildhood.biz/Resources/admin in your case. Click the "Site Specs" button from the menu on the left. Copy what you have in Notepad and paste it into the field labeled Email Regular Expression: Validation Expression AND Reviewer Email Regular Expression: Validation Expression Click the update button at the bottom of the right pane. That should do it.
