Warning for PM set to NO, but still sending warnings

I'm using the latest ver. of AWS, which is working terriffic for the most part. The problem I've noticed is that I have "Use automatic warnings from posts" set to yes and "Use automatic warnings from private messages" set to no. Warning types has ObsceneWords as the name and is set to auto. I just received a PM asking why I warned a user for something he said in a PM. Needless to say, I've got no answer. Can someone shed some light on this for me. I can supply screen caps if necessary or grant admin access if required.

Thanks

Hmm, that's the exact same setup I am using in my site, and I never had that problem. I actually just send a ... pretty offensive PM, from a test user account to mine, and it didn't warn the test user. Maybe you didn't do the proper changes in private.php? Please check that out again.

I re-verified the edits to private.php and everything looks correct. I also did a pm from a test user and immediatly got the warning pm in return. Also, I got the email warning which had this at the bottom

Any other suggestions I could try?

First of all, show me what you have in your "warn_em" template. What are you sending to a warned member? Private messages or emails? It looks as if your template is wrong, still that does not explain why the PM scanned and the user is warned.

I'm sending both pm and email to warned members. Please let me know if you want admin access to have a peek around. I've also attached private.php if you wanted to poke around in there to make sure I didn't miss an edit.

OK, first things first: Make sure your warn_em template contains only the followings:

Second, please remove the private.zip from here, or the moderators will come after you. Email it to me, but please zip it again, as the zip does not work. My email is sv1cec@hol.gr
