   - Did you enter the Userid of the Sender?
   - Does the sender have permission to use PMs?
   - Does Usergroup registered have permission to use PMs?
   - Are you using the original Phrases?

Just installed, can't wait to check it out

[FLMom]

installed with no problems, but I just can't get it to work?

[Ohiosweetheart]

it won't work until someone registers, then it goes out to them automatically. Don't forget to edit it to say what you want it to

[brvheart]

having a slight issue....if I make it so that users emails have to be confirmed, then then PM does not go out, the way I read this...it should as long as the email confirmation group is allowed to use the PM system....any help on this? I am using 1.0.4 if that matters.

The PM will be sent after the user has activated the account.
