    PM Notifications

    Hello,

    Where abouts are PM Notifications enabled?
    I never get an email when I receive a PM.
    I have notifications turned ON, and I receive notifications everytime someone posts on our little forum, but I never get emails saying I have a PM.
    I cannot see a notification which specifically enables this either.

    Please advise

    Thanks
    James

    Ah, just found it in Cpanel under User Manager.
    Where is this available on the forum though so anyone can change this setting?
    Looks like everyone is default to Off.
    How do I make it so everyone is enabled by default?

    Thanks
    James

      There isn't an option to receive emails from pms right now in 5. The option is in the AdminCP, but it doesn't work, and there is no frontend option to enable it.

        Hmm. Would have thought that was a basic and core feature...
        VB5 continues to surprise me and mostly not in positive ways.

          I know it's been a while, but has this been fixed? I'm still not getting PM email notification. I have it set to receive them in my user profile.

            Yes. Did you check the "Receive Email Notification of new Private Messages" checkbox in User Settings > Notifications tab?

              Yes, on my personal user, but not on the admin one, so I just selected it. I can't recall ever getting an email about a PM from my personal id, but I guess we'll see. Thanks for the heads up...made me double check.
