My "New Member Welcome" is not working properly

I have been the administrator of our SoDak 224 Toastmasters website for 2 years. Today, I added a new member and tried to send a New Member Welcome email. I changed the necessary information inside the brackets. I "saved" it. It was sent. But when the email was received, all the bracketed areas were blank. I have done this many times before without any problems. But today, every time I tried to send a New Member Welcome, the email that arrived had only blank spaces. I have no clue as to what has happened. Nor do I know how to fix this. Who can help me out? Here is the link to our website: 224.toastmastersclubs.org/

You shouldn't change the variable names in the brackets - the system uses those to substitute the actual values for your club and the member

Change the first section to this:
Code:
Hello {{firstname}}: Welcome to the {{clubname}} club website. The URL of this website is {{WEBURL}}

Change your signature to:
Code:
----------------------------------- {{adminname}} {{clubname}} Website Administrator

Thanks so much. I feel like an "idiot." I knew that. I've done this dozens of times before. So I don't know why I did what I did today. I must be getting too old and tired! :-) It is now fixed and working properly.
