This Mod does not send Email-Notifications, right? Is there a way to make it do this?

[chris1979]

Does it really not send e-mail notifications? I was just about to install it but it's no good to me if it doesn't send e-mail notifications.

It does send it. From what I recall, it follows whatever email notification option the user has selected.

installed and working great! nice work

[Lizard306]

finally installed it today , followed the steps in the instructions file, but "Send PM to Users" link in "Users" section does not appear , i uploaded all the files under "UPLOAD" in the root & also under a folder called "upload"

another funny thing, when i import the plugin for the first time it does not say:


Updating style information for each style

* skin ... (Templates) (StyleVars) (CSS) (Replacement Variables) (Controls) Done.

but this message comes only when i import this product again with overwrite option.

is it mandatory to install the older version first & then upgrade?

Let me know,

thanks a ton in advance.

I'm having the exact same problems as the user above... No PM link in the "User" menu.

Thanks for releasing

I was wondering how everytime you send PMs to users will send emails notice of that PM. I know you can do this manually per user options but is there anyway to do this by user group?the problem is that my email system is working impropiate since someone hack my forum and spam emails from my server and now I thing is on the Blacklist.

So until I have this fix I will like to send massive PMs but a the same time will send email notification for the PMs I send to every member

Thank you for your help

I just installed, and sent a PM to anyone active within the last 30 days.

27,145 PM's sent without issue, and it does send the email notification.

Only suggestion I have is adding in an auto-redirect for next page. It's a PIA to keep clicking that next button for that many PMs

[UNRE4L]

This is a really useful tool, but a problem i'm having is that when PM's are sent the system doesnt recognise that there is a new PM in the inbox. Even though there is one there it still displays "No new messages" on the index.

Does anyone know how to solve this?
