I am the administrator of a new forum. When I have a new user registering I go to "Profile" - "Action" - "Send Personal Message" and send them a personal message related to the registration. I click on Send and the message says it is sent. This message is in my Sent folder. However, I noticed I was getting no responses from any of about 15 new registrations that I sent messages to in this manner. So I generated a secondary user here (actually me as a regular user - i.e. not administrator) and then I logged in as administrator and sent a message the same way to this secondary user. After 15 minutes no messages were received confirming that this method of sending messages is not working.

I was able to send a message via the path of "Profile" - "Summary" and clicking on the email address and sending a message - that works okay so I now use this method.

I am using SMF version 2.0.7 on a Windows 7 machine and my email provider is Outlook Express Classic (an Outlook Express replacement).

Sending a personal message does not send an email unless you have the notification turned on in your profile..,   

In other words, you sent a personal message and it went to the user's forum account but never generated an email...   But it still went to the users pm box.

Please do not PM, IM or Email me with support questions.  You will get better and faster responses in the support boards.  Thank you.

Okay, thanks for that info. I will give that a try and test in tomorrow morning.

Yes, it did go to his personal account. Thank you for clearing that up.
