Visitor Messages

[PinkDaisy]

For some reason on some profiles new and old the visitor messages seemed to stop working. They don't have an option to post any on the profiles.

I have not installed any new modificiations. Any help is apprecaited.

First of all turn on visitor messages for all future users. Admin cp -> vbulletin options -> user registration options -> default registration options.

I assume you have imported users from a different forum system. All of those users will have the "allow visitor messages" option turned off. To turn them on, you need to run the following query in phpmyadmin. Please make a backup of your vbulletin database before running it.

UPDATE user SET options = options + 8388608 WHERE NOT (options & 8388608);

You might need to put your table prefix in front of the word "user", eg vb_user.

I will try this when I get home later and have more time.
I have not imported any users from a different system. My site has been VB for about 1-2 years now.
