Ok here's how I personally fixed the Private Messaging issue.

I installed Chrome (PM still didn't work)
Restarted FireFox
Private Msged someone with Firefox - Suddenly it started working.

Tons of my users reporting the same though, works for some using Chrome, doesn't for many others.

Still not working on Chrome for me or IE


Edit- Logged back in today, and now the PM isn't working again

I have experienced a bug where the moderation menu does not respond to any commands. I have doubled check the permissions and I do have access to things such as "sticky chat" , report chat" etc... any ideas?

Also, I was wondering if there was a way to extend the submenu's header background images to 100%. I have a custom theme/skin and there seems to be an issue of some sort. screen shot provided and the issue is highlighted with a red translucent box.

So PM are only showing on chrome ? I developed using Firefox (latest version) and Chrome, was having no problem, this is odd.

When not working with Chrome, could you please activate the developer tools and see if any javascript error is reported ? Same with IE (can't test with IE as I have a MAC)

Thanks

This bug has already been reported I gotta look at it.

Regarding your style issue, this is odd, when looking at the css on my forum, there is no reason you have such display.

Are you familiar with using firebug to inspect the DOM ? Coz it would be interesting to get a closer look at the final generated css for those elements.

Yes It's fine, I have been able to reproduce this bug, I'll fix this when doing the bug fixes.
I hope to release a new version somewhere end of the month.

[VBDev]

Anyone that has the pm or command issues please check with developer tools in your browser (or firebug in firefox, as extension) to see if you have any javascript error

[Skyborg]
