Hi,
Cant assign simple press Admins to a user group and therefore the Private Messaging functionality is not available to admins.
In the Permissions, I have selected "Can use the private messaging system" for Standrad access, Full access and Moderator access. When I Go to manage user groups, All the standard users can be mapped, but the admins aren't in the list to map them.
Am I missing something ?
Also - same problem with the "View Online Activity" link - not available for Admins ?
Many Thanks
Emma
Correct, admins do not belong to a usergroup. They do not to either. Admins automatically are granted all possible permissions. So they will be able to pm.
Just to check, but be careful not to confuse wp admins from SP admins. WP admins are not SP admins by default. This allows any wp user to be an sp admin but not have to be a wp admin. You control sp admins on forum - admins - manage admins.

What PM buttons are missing?
Try going to forum - toolbox - housekeeping and resetting the auths cache. See if that clears it up.

quite odd... so lets look at some db data...
in the sfmembers table, for those users you think are admins (as shown on the admin panel), is the admin column set to 1 or 0?
and in the wp usermeta table, for these users, what is the wp_capabilities (your prefix might be other than wp_) set to for these users? do they have sp manage capabilities listed (see what yours looks like)...

Thanks very much for your help !

so they are definitely admins...
in the sfmembers table, be worth looking at their auths column... will be rather large, so just pick one...
stepping back, no caching plugins running, right? cause you cannot cache the forum page...
