Private Messages

My members cant send out pms unless they reply to someone from an older pm. The pm icon is not displaying on anyones profile. I have checked to see if the private messaging was enabled and it is.

well, they may have it restrictred. you can do this under...
Profile >>> Prefrences >>> (something todo with pm restricted)

u can also do this in the admin panel under the users profile

I went to users and groups>>profile but I did not see prefernces... all I saw was profile field and contact field. I think that the pm button is just not showing up. My registration and login buttons are not showing up either. One day you can see all my buttons, and the next day half of them are missing.

Can we please have the link to your site?
As for the PM Button; it's just above the user ranks it says "Can send PM's" make that that = yes
And for the missing buttons can you check that their there at the pics control?
Admin panel >> Display ( Tab ) >> Pics management > Check their in there.

Display>Pics management
advanced mode.
Buttons tab
Private Message : Check if the image is there?
