Can a per-user option also be added in case you just want to stop a certain spammer?
That will be great. Hope to see that at next version.

Clicked Installed on credit.. :p

If you want to limit a certain spammer, just move him to a separate user group. I don't plan on adding a specific user option because I think its already possible.

[Guest190829]

I tidied up the code a little bit and also included KURTZ translation in the release. An upgrade is not required, but if you do upgrade just reimport the product and choose to overwrite the existing product.

way to go Danny !

Hi there, should this work for additional usergroups?

I have a free usergroup that is limited pm's. I have created a usergroup used for donations which they get added as an additional usergroup.

It does not appear to overide the limited pm setting as an additional group.

look forward to your advice, kindest regards Andy

Hi again, I didn't bother with additional usergroups.

I am still using this mod on 3.8.2 without problems.


I do have one request if this mod is ever likely to be updated for the 3.8 forum.


It would be great if it showed under the unread messages area how many messages a member has left to send in that day.

I hope it could be updated with that feature. :up:

I have just tried to remove this as well because of lack of support and development and got the same error as you.

Did you manage to fix this?

I had to install the product again.

[Kiint]

I had to uninstall this myself as it was inteferring with vb4.

remove bitfield_dailypmquota.xml from your /includes/xml/ folder and it will stop accessing it.

Worked for me.
