Hi,
I've installed the latest PM mod and it works fine. However when a new nember joins the forum the PM option does not appear on their members list, via the 'communication icons' in a users post or in their profile.
I can however manually PM a user by name.
I've put a few screen shots below just to outline this.
Does anyone know how I can fix this.
Many thanks |

Which database are you using? Did you get any errors when you ran the dbs-file?
If a new member goes to PM Preferences, do they have private messages turned on, off, or neither?
It seems as if new members get their PM option set to 0 (or it is null) when they register. To change that, you need to change the default value for M_PMRECEIVE in the members table to 1. |

Hi, thanks for replying.
I'm using Access 2000.
I checked what you said and you're right it is the default preferences, they aren't being set at all when a new user registers.
How do you suggest I make this change. Open it in MS Access?
thanks |

You can either use the alternate mod setup or you can open it with ms access and set the default value to 1. The latter method can cause you to loose a few posts, if anyone has posted before you upload the database.
If you want to use the alternate mod setup, use the following code:
[ALTER]
MEMBERS
ALTER#M_PMRECEIVE#int#NULL#1
[END] |
