MyBB Community Forums

In MyBB 1.2 guests could send emails to members (template member_emailuser_guest) and they could also send threads to friends if they had the permission to send mails. In MyBB 1.4 this is not possible.

    // Guests or those without permission can't email other users
    if($mybb->usergroup['cansendemail'] == 0 || !$mybb->user['uid'])
    {
        error_no_permission();
    }

Yep.

Well, why do we have a permission setting then?

Guess it was overlooked - In 1.4, they're simply disabled because we found that 90+% of it's use was being used for spam.
