Title explains it all. I don’t know how to add another person to my private message because I forgot to invite them after I invited one person to participate. Can someone tell me how? @AnonymousPerson did it with @Liza_Conrad

I’ve tested it a bit further and are still scratching my head. For good measure I’ve returned all settings related to Trust Levels back to default. This is what I have: On the problem forum When my test user is TL1, they get no option. When my test user is TL2, they get Remove When my test user …
