have you given users permission to use the pm system?  an to upload images, media and/or files?

I thought perhaps that might be the solution, but thought there might be a more batch-related way to do it and was also concerned about how that would affect capabilities site-wide. I also don’t see don’t see where to enable Private Messaging. Perhaps I am not in the right settings? Screen grab attached.

No screen shot found here!

Go to the Permissions > Manage Permission admin section. Select the permission sets you are using iun your forums and those that you wish to allow the use of PMs for and check the Use PM permission.

I think a long time ago we used to supply these things turned on by default but then users forget to turn them off for certain permission/user groups and complained. Supplying them turned off does make more sense and is safer.

That solved it. All seems to be working correctly now. Thank you.

cool.  glad we could help!

 I downloaded the plugin “Private Message System” and activated but I not visible in header…?!

i checked in “Manage Premissions Sets” and have not “Use PM permission”

So what happens when you turn the permission to use PM on for your users?

I have not this options

Oh I see. Most odd.

As this is a new activation can you try this please?

Go to the forum admin > plugins and uninstall the Private Messaging plugin. This fully removes all components. And then try activating it again and let’s see if that helps…
