    Solved Private messages from non-forum members

    Post by Freedom Thu 9 May 2024 - 4:17

    I have received two private messages from anonymous people advertising their services. How are people who are not forum members able to do this?

    Hello @Freedom,

    That is because you have the contact form activated. That way, when a user wants to get in contact with an Administrator they send a message using their email, and the administrators can get in touch with them via email.
    If you want, you can deactivate the contact form by going to:
    Admin Panel > General > Messages and emails : Emails and contact > Contact form - Activate: No

    This way, nobody can contact you using that form.

    Best regards,
    TheCrow.

    One way to know if a PM is from the contact form is looking at the title of the PM.  It will have contact in the title.
