Cool. Shall schedule some downtime and see if it does the trick.

Shall report back when it either goes horribly wrong or is perfec again

Is this going to interfere or cause problems with the mods I have installed?

117 is missing...I have '116 u_viewprofile' and then '118 a_mods' and then a whole bunch for the gallery and mchat mods. Yeah we were on myfreeforums originally but bought a copy of the database and moved to our own hosting earlier this year. I had to delete a fair few tables in the database to cope...

Nope I have:

96 u_masspm
97 u_pm_attach
98 u_pm_bbcode

It's weird isn't it!

Today was the first time we've had a reason to pm everyone so I've just discovered the problem.

This is the list of pm permissions that appears in my acp:

Not rude at all...I'd be asking that if it were the other way round ..I've even done a text search on the permissions pages just to check I'm just not seeing it...and it's definitely not there.

Yeah it's missing from there too...the 2nd option down is "Can attach files in private messages".

...looks like something is up with my install then I've only got 2 mods (gallery & mchat) and I can't see how either of those would muck pm options up

1. Administrator Control Panel. 2. Click the Permissions tab at the top of the page. 3. Look to the left side menu. 4. Choose User Permissions 5. Once loading, choose a usergroup/user to go to the permission settings. 6. Find the private message options, should be a tab on the page called Private M...
