Using 2.9.0.beta11. It looks like in 2.9.0.beta10, the settings “enable personal messages” was changed. I tried the brute force and added all groups to it: [image] However, I still can’t send personal messages in topics: [image] Sorry, it’s in Portuguese, but the items are “Answer as related topic”, “Toggle whisper” and “Toggle topic promotion”.

The option to start a PM from the reply dialog was removed five or six months ago: [image] Strange behaviour when creating new Topic from linked Post UX I am putting this in UX, it is working as designed but I get the complaints about oddness. I wonder if the long term solution here is just to remove: [image] Cause this use case is very odd and confusing to explain (also it makes drafts super confusing)… plus this works just fine: [image] @awesomerobot / @j.jaffeux thoughts?

Oh my. I see the topic now. Thanks for pointing out. I think all boils down to “Reply only to staff” or “private reply”. I remember seeing this request here in forums several times. Just like there is “Whisper”, topics should have something to allow the poster to reply to a topic but make that reply not visible to anyone, but “private” - visible only to him and staff. It’s a very common situation, where everyone is discussing something and then staff says “send me the file”, and there is sensitive information. A private message (regardless of how it’s created) breaks the workflow, makes the topic harder to understand since some posts are “somewhere else”. That’s the exactly case mentioned by @supermathie in this post: Strange behaviour when creating new Topic from linked Post - #33 by supermathie
