HOW TO: Turn on PMs - Phyllis - 08-19-2012

Private messages are turned off/on in your User Control Panel. You can quickly tell if yours are turned off by looking under any post you've made: do you see a PM button there?

Turning them back on is easy:

Go to your UserCP
Click "Edit Options"
Check the box by "Receive private messages from other users."
Click "Update Options" at the bottom of the page to save (not shown).

Thanks! I couldn't figure that out........

Actually, teens should have them turned off. Interesting, were you able to turn yours on? You shouldn't be.

Actually, now that I try, I can't turn them on. Thanks for explaining why though! That makes sense. [cheesy grin]

I turned my PMs on a long time ago, and I have been able to receive and send. But the last two messages I got a e-mail notification, but nothing in my inbox here. Any ideas?

I emailed you to let you know that I fb'ed you.

When I get emails through AO, I simply get the email in my regular email inbox.

Is there a way to reach a user who sent me a private message but when I tried to respond received this message “USERNAME has private messaging disabled.”

(Just in case you see this -you asked for Buckley and Beesly books.)
