in 3.5.4 i modify the pm_newpm template but when i send a pm i dont see the delete option

[akanevsky]

Then you modified it wrong.

I have a question Anthony- With regards to the feature "Ability to disable sending of PMs per usergroup (admin-only option)."...

If this is set so only Admin has ability to send PMs, if an admin sends a PM to a member of another usergroup, will that recipient of the admin's PM be able to reply to that PM??? In other words, does this setting restrict the ability of other usergroups only from sending and not from replying?

I'm pleased to report that everything appears to be working with vBulletin 3.6.0 Beta 1..

If you cannot send, then you cannot send, and it does not matter whether you reply or not.
