Can't send Private Messages

Post by JarHed »

Hey All

I'm in the process of setting up a website/forums for our new group. It's going along except that I now have a problem I just can't seem to solve. The full members of the forums weren't able to send PM's and I was able to fix that so now they can. The problem is now I can't. I was able to check all the permissions against an existing forum and they look the same except on the new one I get a message that I don't have permission to send a message and on the other I can send one fine.

I've going cross-eyed trying to figure this one out. I know it's probably a simple solution but I'm just not seeing it. I'm the new site admin if that's any help. OH, and please help, anyone.

Which forum software are you using?

If it's phpBB, there are probably several places that it can be blocked, as there are multiple levels of permissions (board-wide, by group, by individual).

Yes it's phpBB. I've checked all those places against an existing forum and can't seem to find an area where I not the same. It's really frustrating as you might imagine.

It's a little hard to help without seeing the exact permissions. However I did a Google search and did find some links that may help.
