I believe I have fixed the problem with private mail. If anyone knows otherwise, please let me know and I will do what I can to fix it.

Unfortunately, fixing computer problems requires lots of information, so if you encounter any problems, please describe the situation as accurately as you can.

Also, screen prints never hurt. 😃

Ah hah!

OK, I'll check your authorization when I get a chance... busy now, shouldn't even be here. 😃

Hmmm. Curiouser and curiouser...

According to the board settings, only moderators and administrators can PM. That explains why I and Donald can, but Andy can't. That doesn't explain how Paul could, however. As far as I know, he has standard registered user privileges.

I will likely change this so that all standard users can PM each other, but I need to make sure that I don't screw anything up, so some poking and peeking is called for.

Until then...

Ed.

Thanks Paul,

I have been under the weather and am still not feeling great, but I will be on when I can. I think the changes will come that others are looking for. It will just take some time.

Get better, Jackie, we need your help. 🙂

@ Swinny

Andy,

I just sent you a PM under the name of FauxUser. I've been playing with settings, and PM should now be enabled for all registered users. Please let me know if you receive that PM.

Thanks,
Ed.

Hmmm... OK. Let me send FauxUser a message and see what happens.

I'll get this figured out one way or the other.

I was able to PM FauxUser, so I'm not sure why it's not working for you, Andy. Try clicking on the Clear All Cookies link at the bottom of the page. Not sure if it will work for you, but give it a try. Please let me know if it does (or doesn't) work.

Ed.

Hey Ed

I cleared all cookies , but nothing happens.

Question , should I see a PM button ?
Should I see a message box ?

I can`t see anything that looks like it.

You should see an icon on the left that looks like a pen writing on paper.

I logged in using your permissions, it did not display. I relogged on as FauxUser and the icons appeared. It appears to be something specific to you (maybe some others). Looks like research will be required. Give me some time.

BTW, is anyone else experiencing this problem? Please speak up as it will provide me more clues and may help me solve it.

OK, someone needs to chastise me for the bad admin that I am... I meant to investigate why Andy wasn't getting any emails, but I managed to get myself distracted. Let us know if Donald's changes helped, Andy. If not, I'll make this a priority... (if I can find the time.) (grumbles)

Well I will leave this to Ed and see if he can find what is wrong as far as I looked into it the permission seems to be there compared to others so I don't know. Hope he can fix it soon for you.

Nope. Wasn't me. All you, Donald. Glad it's fixed.

Now, that we've resolved it, and assuming that it could happen again (or that there may be other users with this problem) would you log what you did in the Administrator's forum? That way, we'll have it for reference in case we need to do it again. 🙂

Ed.

Yep I was planning to do that after I read his comment.

Has the PM system gone down again?

It was working earlier this year, but seems to have broken again. (unless everyone's ignoring me 😉 )

Ed and Jackie, you should have messages waiting in your inbox.

TTFN,

It's working, at least I got it.

Problem is, Paul, the job has been eating my brain. 12 hour days lately, so I haven't checked like I should. If you need to get me directly, try my main email address, I respond more quickly to it. 🙂
