Hello,

I'm the owner/admin of http://thediscussionzone.com and I can't send a PM to a user, everyone else is fine, but for this user, it doesn't have the "Send username a private message.".

I know I could and try and compose a message and use his username, but I was just wondering why I can't PM him.

I know there's an option "Receive private messages from other users." which you can untick, but I thought administrators/moderators can override this.

I could just edit his settings, but I was just wondering why this is.

Thanks.

Nope no PM's means no PM's I'm afraid.
You can run this:

UPDATE `mybb_users` SET `receivepms` = '1' WHERE `receivepms` = '0'

to re-enable them.

Then you can just remove the checkbox from the member_profile_options template.

That's a little bizarre to be honest. I would of thought staff wouldn't need to faff around running queries just to PM a user. On other software forum packages such as phpBB, SMF, etc admins/mods can override this.

I think it should be changed for the next version.
