To remove this feature, locate “footer.tpl” in the currently used template & remove the following code.
<?php echo $options;?>
phpMyDirectory is one of the best web directory scripts that I used. Fortunately, you can use your existing hotmail account in phpMyDirectory. In fact it is not limited to only hotmail, but to all free email service provided by Microsoft including live mail, msn mail, outlook.com email and even Live Domain.
To ensure it work, correct SMTP Server details are required.
