    I've been away from Prius Chat for years, and wanted to post and be able to have full permissions for messages, etc. I (apparently) need to have a Site Admin enable my permissions to allow this since they got disabled.

    Not sure who the site admin is...hoping they'll see this posting and allow me full permission status.

    Thank you Kindly!

    @Tideland Prius is THE moderator AFAIK; he'll get an alert since I've typed his name preceded by an "@".

    me, too! I don't know how to contact them either, as there is nothing to click on for that. Should be a link in the message that says to do that but there isn't.

    I'm not sure that @Danny actually got PM fixed again, did he? I'm not aware of any permissions needed to PM.

    If you're talking about PMs, I don't see anything I can do on my side. I was under the impression @Danny would be fixing it. Is an intermittent problem? (As in some people have PM access and others don't?)

    I'm one of those with restricted PM capabilities. I can't initiate a PM with someone, but I can get PMed by someone and then exchange PMs with that person. Contacting site admin through the link, as instructed, gets no response. I assume it doesn't go to you.

    No, it would go to Danny. There’s nothing more that I can say. I’ve asked several times about the status of PMs. Sorry.

    Same issue for me., Every time I open this site I get the message: "Your account currently has Private Messaging capabilities restricted due to account inactivity. Please contact the site admin if you would like these capabilities turned back on."

    Please turn on my permissions too. Thank you, @Tideland Prius

    I've dug around some more and found the setting. With Danny's permission, you should have PM privileges now. Apologies for not finding this sooner!

    Done!



    Can both of you try and see if the changes work?
