Disabling PM system - Does not work?

[TigerXtrm]

Regular members on my forum are not supposed to be able to use the PM system, yet they can send PM's if they want as I've recieved PM's from some of them.

In the usergroup options the regular member group has a setting of '0' for the 'Maximum amount of stored messages' but apparently they can still use it. What's up :S

Can you PM them back? or does it return a message box full error? Maybe they have 'store a copy of sent messages in the sent items folder' turned off? I'm not sure on how the PM system works, just a guess as I can't get on my forum to try this.

If you send a message back you get an error saying they don't have rights. Which is odd given that you're trying to reply to a message they sent to begin with :).

Are they in any secondary usergroups? If so, make sure PMing is turned off for the secondary usergroup also.
