I have just today installed the PM script onto my forum and whilst it seems to work on SOME users, it wont work on others.
For example : Out of just 53 members who have signed up to my forum, only 25 have the PM icon in their profile. When I click on the memberlist link to PM them, again, only 25 members are able to receive and send PMs?
Anyone know or may have had this problem themselves? Why arent all my members able to send or receive PMs??

Sorted... Sorry guys..
The original code in the members.asp script had the following line :
If strDBNTUserName <> "" and Members_MemberPMreceive = "1" and strPMStatus = "1" Then
Response.Write " <a href=""privatesend.asp?method=Topic&mname=" & ChkString(Members_MemberName,"display") & """>" & getCurrentIcon(strIconPmprivatemessage,"Send " & ChkString(Members_MemberName,"display") & " a Private Message","align=""absmiddle"" hspace=""0""") & "</a>" & vbNewLine
End If
I have simply removed the If strDBNTUserName <> "" and Members_MemberPMreceive = "1" and strPMStatus = "1" Then statement!
Bingo.. It works!!

Sorry for this guys, but another problem I have noticed :
When a new member joins up to my forum, he or she does not automatically get added to the private members list. Ie, there is not an `icon` next to his/her name which you can click on to send them a pm?
Any ideas? |

That's because, by default, the option to receive PMs is switched off. Have a search of the mod forums, pretty sure I've posted some code before to switch it so's it's on by default.

Hi.. I have tried searching the forum on how to change the default settings but struggling to find it..
Any ideas..
Another couple of people have registered onto my forum and they cannot use the PM service... So, does anyone know which .asp scrip I need to find to change the default settings so when a new member joins my forum they will automatically be able to use the pm service?
Cheers in advance.. |

Ah, it was the default setting for the e-mail notification I changed. You can see what I did here; just change M_PMEMAIL to M_PMRECEIVE to do what you want.

Open the dbs file in notepad. Find the value of M_PmRecieve, change it from 0 to 1 (or 1 to 0). Save and apply the dbs now. |

You're welcome 
Might want to let your membership know what you've done and how to switch it back off in case they don't want to receive PMs.
