coinflipper - Welcome To The Rx.com - I hope you enjoy the site for a long time...

Sending Private Messages
Private messages work a little like email, but are limited to registered members of this forum. You may be able to include vB Code, smilies and images in private messages that you send.

You may send a private message to a member of this forum by clicking the 'Send A Private Message' link in the private messaging section of your user control panel also known as USER CP . The icon is located in the top left hand corner of all fourum pages.

When you send a message, you have the option to save a copy of the message in your Sent Items folder.

Private Message Folders
By default, you will have two folders in your private message area. These are the Inbox and the Sent Items folders.

The Inbox folder contains any new messages you receive, and allows you to view all the messages you have received, along with the name of the person who sent the message to you, and the date and time the message was sent.

The Sent Items folder contains a copy of any messages that you have sent, where you have specified that you wish to keep a copy of the message for future reference.

You may create additional folders for your messages by clicking the 'Edit Folders' link.

Each folder has a set of message controls which allow you to select messages, then either move them to one of your custom folders, or delete them completely. You may also have a button which allows you to forward multiple messages from a folder to another member of the forum.

You will need to periodically delete old messages, as the administrator has probably set a limit to the number of private messages you can have in your folders. If you exceed the number of messages specified by the administrator, you will not be able to send or receive new messages until you delete some old messages.

Whenever you read a message, you will have the option to reply to the message, or forward that message to another member of the forum. You may also have the ability to forward that message to multiple members of your buddy list.

Message Tracking
When you send a new private message, you may have the option to request a read-receipt for that message. This will allow you to check whether or not a message has been read by its recipient by viewing the Private Message Tracking page.

This page is divided into two sections: unread messages and read messages.

The unread messages section shows all messages that you have sent with a read-receipt request, that have not yet been read by their recipient.

The read messages section shows all messages you have sent with a receipt request that have been read and acknowledged by their recipient. The time that the message was read is also shown.

You may choose to end the tracking on any message you choose by selecting the message and clicking the [end tracking] button.

When you receive a message with a read-receipt request, you may have the option to read the message while denying the read-receipt request. To do this, simply click the 'deny receipt' link rather than the title of the message, if it appears.

Click on the User Cp on the toolbar above. Then under Settings & Options click on Edit Options. Then under Messaging & Notification scroll down to Private Messaging and check the box entitled Enable Private Messaging. Then scroll down and click on Save Changes.

There is no option for "Private Messenging" anywhere in the "Message & Notification" section, nor is it anywhere on the page opened with "Edit Options". Is there anything else that might be preventing the option from coming up?

Try it now. I moved you off post review that was causing the problem. You will still have to go into USER CP to enable it though.

Thanks, Rob! I don't mean to use it as much, though. I'm not so much of a poster as a lurker, other than for forum information. I prefer to post in the open if I have questions because it helps everyone else by reading it. I doubt I'll come near your post count in any case ;)

I have the same problem. I have had requests for pm and I do not see it as an option.

You currently are on Post Review. I have read all your posts and as of now, will keep you on Post Review for awhile as I monitor your posts. When you are on Post Review, your Privage Messaging feature cannot be enabled.

Thanks, for the help, sorry about the twitter post (that was unique to that thread, since its taken on a cult following of its own) let me know if you want me to take it down.
