No More PM to Buddies?

[Sage]

What ever happened to the "PM to Buddies" feature? It seems to have disappeared...

I still seem to have it, maybe your computer is throwing a fit?

 

[Sage]

Not my computer...

<td align="center">
<a href="private.php?s=&action=newmessage"><img src="/i/f/pm_sendnew.gif" alt="Send a new private message" border="0"></a>
<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: priv_readreceiptslink -->
<a href="private2.php?s=&daysprune="><img src="/i/f/pm_tracking.gif" alt="Find out if messages you have sent have been read yet" border="0"></a>
<!-- END TEMPLATE: priv_readreceiptslink -->

<a href="private.php?s=&action=editfolders"><img src="/i/f/pm_folders.gif" alt="Organise your private message folders" border="0"></a>
</td>

Those are the three buttons that I have... "New Message", "Tracking", and "Folders", but the fourth, "PM to Buddies" has gone bye-bye.

It must be a apple thing I suspect....



You don't have a [PM] link next to each buddy in your list?

Be sure to go here:

....for your buddy list. Other than that, I really don't know.

How on earth did I know you'd say that?

Yeah, I have that... what I want is the "bulk PM'ing", where there's a checkbox next to each person's name, and so you can check off any number of your buddies to send one message to. With the [PM] link, you can only send one at a time.

That's very strange...it hasn't gone anywhere and I can still see the button just fine. If all else fails, just click on this link and it will take you to the PM Buddies page that you are wanting to access.

I'm thinking that it's some script/database problem... I've tried it in three different browsers (including IE), and none of them show the button, and none of them have it in the source code (and there's no reason why my computer would inadvertently cut off a piece of source code), so I don't think it's something on my end.

Anyway, here's a screenshot...

[Cobraboy]

Hmmmmm,

In using that link:

Sorry, your usergroup does not have permission to use the buddy list mass private message function.

...is the vB Message that comes up on the screen.

Thanks, Pako, that explains it. I'm not sure how that option got switched off, though... Anyway, it should be working for you now, youth.

Yup, it works now. Thanks! 👍
