Hello, 

I have the Private Messages plugin installed but for some reason it's not displaying has it should.

Here is an example :

http://www.dota2quebec.com/for.....ge-2/#p118

The PM icon is not displaying.. do you guys know why?

Also there, http://www.dota2quebec.com/forum/members you can see the PM icon is displayed for the admins but not for the rest of the members? Any idea why?

I have the exact same setup on another site (http://dayzquebec.com/forum/members/) and it's displaying correctly. But everything is the same. Not sure why it's not displaying on the 1st site!

Thanks for the help!

One more thing, not sure if it's related to permissions this time but the Post Ratings and Post Thanks plugins are not displaying either. (permission is activated)

Is there something special I need to know about these?

Users will need permission for them too... And each one is individually enabled per forum since users dont always want them in all forums... so edit each forum and enable...

see:

No - Steve was mistaken - there is no extended option for thanks. Once active it should just appear in each post - beside the PM icon. But there IS a permission to use it that you do need to turn on. Both thanks and private messaging should show up in the 'general' group within the permission admin panel.

I would point out that the very first screenshot you linked to in your first post of this thread actually showed a topic for a guest user. Guests - or non-registered users - can not use either the PM or the Post Thanks.

OK - what Simple:Press theme are you using and - if one of ours and not a custom one - have you updated it to the most recent version?

I am using the css-only theme.
I only modified the .css

I tried reverting to the default .css cause I was not sure if I hided the button by mistake maybe but it was not displaying either.

Yes I have installed the latest forum and theme
