2. Go to ACP / Plugins & Products / Manage Products and import product-mass_pm.xml. Error. Invalid File Specified

What am I doing wrong? vBulletin 4.1.1

[ForceHSS]

Error is because you have uploaded to wrong folder

Would it be possible to add the option that we can have this mod to show in the ModCP as well as the adminCP?

Is anyone getting any closer to enabling html in messages?

Instead of HTML you can use the vBulletin markups to achieve the same effect. For example, if you want to include clickable links in your pm, use the URL tags that you would use creating a thread or post (vbulletin.org doesn't let me type the actual tags, they won't show up in this post.). This works for other things like images, etc.

Since these are PM's, HTML (I think) is usually disabled by default in vBulletin. You could try enabling it for your usergroups or whatever (maybe just the administrator?) and then try sending out an HTML pm to users and see if it uses the HTML markup.

For those with mysql has gone away errors when trying to send a lot of PM's - you will need to increase these limits in your MySQL settings to (found in my.cnf in the /etc/ folder in your root directory of your server):

interactive_timeout=28000
wait_timeout=28000
connect_timeout=28000

My defaults are much less, but I increase them to send 40,000 pm's, then revert them back to what they are normally.

You'll want to contact your host to change these if you don't know how - but under a shared hosting account you may not be able to.
