I got rid of it. The problems I was experiencing:

1) I had more than 10 posts, could then PM, and then later I could not?????

2) I could not post to myself, which I like to do from time to time, when I have something really wise to say to me, lol

I'm going to keep telling people not to use this hack as it just doesn't work right, and it has inherint flaws that will cause problems.

Sorry, a newbie here, but with promotions what will we do? I mean will take them to any other usergroup with that facility or do what?

I agree with him. It's a much more elegant solution, and it's already programmed into vB. Why add more code to the mix to do something that can already be done?

how do you disallow PM's for a usergroup, i dont see the option in usergroup manager, thanks

Ok, now I have done something. The process is as follows:

I have created a junior member group
than I disallowed them to post pm's, attachments and so on.
finally I created promotions for them to jump to standard members after 50 posts.

is it all this? did I do the correct things?
please advice...

from acp, you can edit the usergroups. from usergroup manager, choose the group you want and click edit. than go to Private Message Permissions section and find:
Maximum Stored Messages:
If you set this to 0 users from this usergroup will not be able to use private messaging.

as it says if you set the number there to 0, than you disallow the pm. for that group.
