> [@Pirat](#): > > the administrator does not work sms chat Hey, yes thatā€™s intentional. Messages to and from the System user (the user account automatically created when the instance is created) will not appear in this plugin. That account is used to send system notifications to the user, which are not suitable for this plugin. I suggest that you do not use the System user as your personal account. > [@Pirat](#): > > still need to add scrolling, I do not have the wheel Fair point. I have added the scroll bar back. ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/9/2/926f6ffba50589688fb3524e8b43b65ded10c964.png) ---

Are you using the user automatically created when the instance was created? This user, the system user, will not get any quick messages. ---

@meglio As explained above, the system user will not receive quick messages. I recognize that a number of people use the system user as their personal account, however on balance I considered it preferable that the system user be excluded from the quick message logic, as the alternative is that actual system messages from the system user show up in the quick message context, [see e.g](https://meta.discourse.org/t/quick-messages-plugin/39188/87). When I made this change I initially tried to restrict the exclusion to system messages _per se_, i.e. those about the system, as opposed to messages composed manually by the system user. However this did not seem possible. Considering the number of people this approach seems to affect, Iā€™ll have another look at how else this issue could be handled in the next few days. ---

> [@angus](#): > > @meglio As explained above, the system user will not receive quick messages. Is not the system user `system`? Iā€™m not using it, Iā€™m using a very first admin user that was created when I installed Discourse. There is another, `system` user, but thatā€™s another thing. However, my non-system user, e.g. `@meg`, is configured to be the user from whom welcome PMs are sent to new users. ---

Iā€™ve found a better way of excluding messages from the system, without excluding all messages to and from the system user. Topics actually have a property `subtype` which I had not realized the significance of before. One subtype is `user_to_user` messages. Now all `user_to_user` messages will appear in the Quick Messages message list and count, including those to and from the system user. This should still exclude automated messages from the system user about the system itself.

I just did rebuild to try the plugin error fixed. When Iā€™m writing a message Iā€™m getting no view of what Iā€™d typed in the quick message window in both users/browsers. Iā€™m getting the browser notification with message and I could see the last sent message from the plugin icon message list. but not in both userā€™s message windows. Also, the message numbers on the icon keep showing. This error is generated: ``` NoMethodError (undefined method `name' for nil:NilClass) /var/www/discourse/plugins/discourse-blog-post/plugin.rb:115:in `allow_blog_posts_in_category' ``` Backtrace ```

When the message window is open. There is two icons on top right. One for closing the window, the other for hiding it. What is the difference between those options. As I could see, both icons just close the window. ---

In terms of the ā€˜conflictā€™ between the two plugins, it isnā€™t clear that there is one yet. If there is an exception on your server, it can prevent other logic from working properly. Once the bug in the blog post plugin is fixed, please test them both together again. > [@ewanly](#): > > When the message window is open. There is two icons on top right.

This has also been reported by a few members now. Nothing specific that I can see in the logs which is related to your plugin code. [Previous page](https://meta.discourse.org/t/quick-messages-plugin/39188.md?page=8) [Next page](https://meta.discourse.org/t/quick-messages-plugin/39188.md?page=10)
