Features and differences from PHP forums:

1. Total of 200 PMs are kept. All received PMs are saved, you can’t change it, you can only delete them.

2. If you don’t delete PMs manually and their number reaches 200, the oldest PM will be automatically deleted if you receive a new one.

3. Administrators can’t read other users’ PMs. And this feature won’t be added in future (privacy of correspondence).

4. Smileys in PMs can be enabled in Users settings and confirmed in User Groups settings. In User Groups settings you can also enable BB codes in PMs.

5. Message length is limited to 1000 characters.

Code
<?IF($IS_NEW_PM$)?><a href="javascript://" id="upml" onclick="window.open('$PM_URL$','pmw','scrollbars=1,top=0,left=0,resizable=1,width=680,height=350');  return false;"><img src="http://YOUR_SITE_URL/prt.gif" border="0"></a>($UNREAD_PM$)<?ELSE?><a href="javascript://" id="upml" onclick="window.open('$PM_URL$','pmw','scrollbars=1,top=0,left=0,resizable=1,width=680,height=350');  return false;">Private messages</a> •<?ENDIF?>

This code will help you to get a blinking or any other button when you receive a new PM, a number of unread messages in brackets and a link to a pop-up window when you click on it or on the image.


How can I see the private messages of users? I am founder admin and want to see the PM's of users.
You can't. Private messages are PRIVATE.

How to send PM automatically, i.e. as soon as a user has registered he receives a private message automatically from the administration?
You cannot send a PM automatically. The system will send an email to there specified email address.

I have added the $UNREAD_PM$ code. But the number of unread messages is always displayed as zero and new messages are not colored red.
The system reacts to a new PM within 10 minutes, you just need to wait.

How can I delete a PM which was accidentally sent to a wrong user, I don’t want him to read it?
You can’t.

I can’t find the option "Notify by e-mail about new private messages". Where is it?
It is on a profile page.

Some users of my website have a sound "private message" playing each time they enter the site, though they don’t have new PMs. Why is it so?
Restore default forum templates or resave them.

PM is not working on my website – when I click on it an empty window opens.
Restore the default PM template.

I have already read the last PM but there is still an alert.
Delete cookies.

Is it possible to delete all users’PMs?
No, you can delete only YOUR PMs.

Is it possible to let a user use PMs only after he has 50 posts in forum?
You can disable PM for the "Users" group and enable auto-transfer to the "Ckecked" group after a user has posted 50 messaged in forum and has confirmed his/her e-mail

What are the IDs or classes of the fields "Subject" and "Message text"?
#pmSubject and #message

Can the forum administrator send PMs to all users? If yes then how?
By means of the mass PM dispatch.

Is it possible to do the following:
1. Only the administrator can send PMs.
2. Users can only read PMs and send PMs to the administrator only.

No. Those who are not allowed to send PMs can’t read then as well.

How can I translate the text on the PM page into another language?
Partially by means of the Substitution of default phrases, partially by means of the script.

Is it possible to block PMs from unwanted users?
You can block messages from groups only (the option "Accept private messages from the following groups only" in the profile)


I'm not "man", "sir" or whatever. I'm female!
About signatures, screenshots etc...

No, but you can do that manually or set first group as inactive, then set auto-transfer for those
people who are active to be transferred to group which, for example, is members. And people
who remain in inactive group, you can mass PM or write an e-mail to each individual reminding.

To read a new private message do the following:
1. Go to the site (use the link above).
2. Authorize yourself by entering your login name and password.
3. Open your personal page by clicking "My profile" or "Personal section".
4. Go to "Private messages" section.

Hi uCoz & All ... How do I send PM's to a group of mixed user. I don't want to use the Mass PM.

An example would be there are 6 members in D-Group and 5 in A-Group ... I want to contact only 3 from D-Group and 1 in A-Group ... so I would think I set the Send PM box Recipient: to have ... 1D, 2D, 3D, 1A ... doesn't work? Hope I've explained that OK?!?

ANY advice appreciated!

Balrog

Balrog, You have to send PM manually. There is no such option.

Hey T ... thanks for that.

Is this something uCoz plan to develop? It seems an obvious thing to have on a site, say a checkbox against each member to PM in a group? ... Thanks ... Walts
