you can send a private message to all users…  

if you want to email like a newsletter, than I would suggest grabbing many of the wp plugins that exist for that function…

PM To all users is exactly what I was thinking! Thanks.

np. glad to help!

Okay, now as an admin, I don’t seem to have access to the PM system. In fact if I check under permissions on my admin profile in the forums, the PM boxes are red x-ed not green checked. I can’t seem to find any setting to allow my (one) admin account to use the PM system.

are you an sp admin??? not a wp admin, but sp admin… two different things… sp admins get permission to all…

you can set sp admins on forum – admins – manage admins

I am most certainly a SP admin as well as the WP admin – that’s why I’m quite confused about this.

me too… admins dont get permissions…

try going to forum – toolbox – housekeeping and do a reset of the auths cache…

Mr Papa, already tried resetting the auths cache, but still cannot find any option to use the pm system. is there any other way to achieve it?

Same as ^^

Fingers crossed, hope you add it to the next update.

mmm… we clearly have an issue here somewhere – 3 reports of this. Apologies for the problem.

I have opened a bug report to get this looked at with a high priority. Best I can say at the moment….

Would either of you guys be able and willing to dump some data from your database so we can take a look at it?

Sure. How would I go about doing that?

Thanks for the offer. Probably no need now as the third person with the issue has done this for us and we now have data to at least see ‘what’ is going on even if not quite the ‘why’ yet!

If we do end up needing any more – I’ll come back but we are probably covered – thanks.
