Question for Staff Members

[Eloise]

When I tried to get to my personal messages, it came up with this notice instead:

Eloise, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Why?

You may have to go to your user CP and enable Private Messages to be used. Right now I think you've got PM's turned off.

[Eloise]

Oh, okay.

I just tried to find it, where is the PM enabler? I can't find it...

[A-n-M]

You would go to your user cp, go down to edit options. Then it will say Messaging & Notification go down to the part of private messaging theres a button that says enable private messaging click that button it should have a check and the rest shouldn't have a check under the category Messaging & Notification.

You have less than 10 posts. You cannnot view or send any PM's until you have over that amount. :)

[Eloise]

Oh, okay! Thanks.

[Amy]

I don't think there is an option to not recieve PM's but you can stop the pop-up box coming up alerting you that you have one.

Actually, there is a way to enable or disable your PM system:

As A-n-M has said, if you go t Edit Options, and down to the Private Messaging section, you should see the following:

This forum features a private messaging system, which allows members to send messages to one another privately.

If you do not want to send or receive private messages, you may disable the private messaging system.
[]Enable Private Messaging

You may limit the receipt of private messages to just moderators and those on your buddy list. Other members who attempt to send messages to you will be told that you have disabled private messaging.
[]Receive Private Messages only from Buddies and Moderators

The forum can send a message to your email address to inform you when someone sends you a private message.
[]Receive Email Notification of New Private Messages

If you are browsing the forums when you receive a new private message, the system can pop-up a notification box informing you of the new message.
[]Show New Private Message Notification Pop-up

Just check off what you desire. :)

And yes, Amy is right. Because of past events, we have decided to disable new users of 10 posts or under, their Private Messaging system.

[Amy]

Oh right. :S I never knew about that option.
