"Can send instant messages" permission. What is it?

Post by [Dimetrodon] »

In the Misc tab in the User or Group permissions section in the ACP for a certain group or user, there is a permission called "Can send instant messages."

May I ask what an instant message is in phpBB or what that permission does? It seems separate from the PM and Email functionalities.

At a guess it's the Jabber thing mentioned in the General settings tab > comms
But I don't think anyone ever used it. Not sure I've even seen a support topic asking about it.

Thank you, Kev.

Honestly, I am not new to phpBB and even I did not know it had a Jabber function either.
