Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

I have apparently missed some messages - checking my settings, I noticed that the setting for private messages was set to off. ?? I am puzzled.

I didn't think there was a Off setting for private messages. Need more info, page url, exact text?. Nothing has been changed.

chronic is quite correct!





By default, I guess these radio-buttons are all set to YES, but you can indeed select NO, and then PM's will be ignored.

This is why I ask for the exact text!

Do you mean "Notify me by email when I receive a Private Message", options "Yes" or "No"

You'll find that's off for everyone by default. It sends a email to you when someone sends you a private message using the forums message system. Its a bit flakey at the best of times, even if you turn it on I wouldn't rely on it. No, I didn't turn it off.

No,

What I meant by

"the setting for private messages was set to off"

did not refer to email in any way.

What I meant by

"the setting for private messages was set to off"

refers to the phrase which says "Let members contact me" followed by buttons.
