Well I just found out this mod isn't compatible with ver 3.6.8

The user options buttons showed up but the phrases didn't. So there is just the check boxes and no text to go along with them.

Also I have completely lost the ability to use the PM system now. At least the sending of PMs in now turned off and no way to turn it back on that I know of.

I've deleted the plugin and reverted the templates but still no PM functionality.

Any ideas on how to turn sending PMs back on?

Thanks!

EDIT:
I got it to work again. The mod isn't working though. I just got the ability to create PMs back. I hope there will be an update to this for .8+ sometime

Updated to support 3.5.x - 3.8.x.

With 3.8.3 this seems to change the template category names to say "Templates" instead of the actual name. I'm not sure if its a conflict with another plugin or not, but once I disable this one the category names show up again.
