Umm.....somehting wrong with this forum?

[ASG14]

I just got an email for a PM from the forum. I click the link and get:

Sorry, an error occurred. If you are unsure on how to use a feature, or don't know why you got this error message, try looking through the help files for more information.

The error returned was:

You are not allowed to use the messenger feature on this board

And I can't even find out where to find the PM's, and this is the only forum of like 20 I;m on that I can;t figure it out....

*Edit

As I posted this, the next page I went to then showed the PM box. Something's happening to the forum......

nothing is wrong.

we had spammers spam load of members, so we closed the pm system down to stop them, then changed some settings.

If regular members cannot get to their inbox then all they need to do is post 1 time and the inbox will re-appear

cheers

Due to spammers spamming the system we pulled the PM feature.

Today i pulled all the spam from the infected inbox's and patched the PM system.

Members now have full access to Pm's but you will be limited to 1 message every few mins. This is to stop the bulk spammers.

Paid Members can do what they like as this doesnt affect them as spammers do not have paid accounts.
