How do I turn on Private Messages?

[Dan Verdi]

It says I have to edit my profile, but I don't see a option that actually specifies this.

Thanks,

go to the user cp. click edit options. about half way down you'll see a check box for PM's. Check it.

I don't see ANY check box. On the left-hand sideof my screen, it lists...

Private Messages vbmenu_register("nav_pmfolders");

FoldersInboxSent Items
List MessagesSend New MessageTrack MessagesEdit Folders

That's it...what to do? What am I missing?

you need to go into edit options. that's where the pm checkbox is. It's under "message notification" and then private messaging.

Got it - thanks much!

Thanks for the tip. I didn't realize that PM's were desabled by default. I would think that PM's should be turned on by default. Oh well, thanks for letting us know.

Thanks for that. I wasn't aware of this, either.:thumbsup

For anyone else wondering:

Okay, not to hijack, but now that that's settled, how do you do THAT (take a "picture" of the screen you're on)? I've seen it before, but I'd really like to learn to do it.

Hit "Print Screen". It stores a .bmp of your screen on your clipboard that you can then paste into a photo program.

Or use Photo Shop or Paint Shop Pro

Thanks for posting this! I didn't know PMs were disables either...

Oddly enough it says I have 38 PMs that are unread but I've read them prior to the Move, anyone else have that?

 

[Too Much Garlic]

Welcome.

Anything you did prior to the move didn't carry over... at least as far as I have understood it from all these topics.

Why is it that when I just turned on my PM's, I get almost 300 saved PM's in my inbox and all of them were messages I sent to people.

All the saved PM's I had in my old inbox are now gone. What happened to them?

many people's inbox PMs were switched to their sent box. Check your sent box and let me know.
