Hey guys,

I have looked all over for the option in MyBB to have an email sent to people when they receive a new PM, but I have found nothing. Am I correct that there is no way of doing this? Are there any modifications that would help make an email notification possible upon users receiving a PM?

Thank you!
Andy

It's in User CP --> Edit Options --> Notify me by email when I recieve a new Private Message.

Is there any way I can make it checked off by default for all users?

To enanble the option by default when registering open the template Member Templates -> member_register and search for:

<input type="checkbox" name="emailpmnotify" id="emailpmnotify" value="yes" $emailpmnotifycheck />

Replace with:

<input type="checkbox" name="emailpmnotify" id="emailpmnotify" value="yes" checked="checked" />

To set this setting to "yes" for all existing users you can run the following query via phpMyAdmin:

UPDATE mybb_users SET pmnotify = 'yes';

Thank you, worked perfectly.
