Our regular non-admin/non-mod users are unable to add other users to a personal message. I’ve impersonated, changed themes, poked through settings… in none of the cases will clicking the “Add or Remove …” button at the top of a PM thread do anything at all when impersonating. This is across browsers…

[image] tshenry: @laughingriver the best thing to do would be to get the site updated. After that we can try to figure out any other factors that might be coming into play. Ok, if it is a stie update issue then that could be a long way off given how frequent they do them at TPM. Those trust …

On our site we have “Enable personal messages” turned off because we must prevent adults from sending messages to youth without a parent or another adult copied. We do use personal messages to communicate between moderators and users. The problem we have is when we click “Add or Remove” on an exis…

In that case, the issue I’m finding is that regular users cannot invite users to a PM if the max invites per day setting is 0. For your case, it is the enable personal messages site …

Has any thought been given to add an option (or just remove the restriction) to allow staff to add users to private messages they originated when enable personal messages is disabled?

Hey, all. We started experiencing issues with this after an update a few weeks ago. Users can remove other participants in a PM they own but are no longer able to add any users: [image] The invite permissions are set to anyone with TL2 (which my test user has) and “enable personal messages” is t…

I am also seeing this behavior with latest commits :cry:

Can we repro any problems here @tshenry ?

[image] sdpiowa: Users can remove other participants in a PM they own but are no longer able to add any users: I got around to digging into this a little today, but am unable to reproduce the mentioned behavior. I attempted three messaging scenarios using the settings mention (PMs enabled and…
