mgoetze Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 According to the forums help, it may be possible to send a message to several recipients but only if this feature has been actived by the admins. Is it deactivated or am I just too stupid to get it working? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 It's enabled. When you're in the Messenger section and click on "Compose New", you should see two fields: "Recipient's Name" and "Other Recipients". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackshoe Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 I dunno about anybody else, but I see only one field: "Recipient's Name". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 I have tested this with a non-administrator account, and the users here are right. You guys seem to lack the ability to send more than one message at a time. I will poke around in the settings and see if I CAN change this. The assumption is people will not abuse this (but I SEE how this would be useful for bbo league teams etc). i guess when the system was set up, to prevent spamming of members this was not turned on. Should problems crop up because of this new "feature" let me know and we can turn it off again (assuming I can turn it on). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, I think I have allowed "full members" to send up to 25 private messages at once. Unfortunately, my test non-adminstrator account is not a full member. Someone let me know if I fixed this for full members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillybean Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 If I'm a "full member" I still have only one field. I also tried signing out and back in, still the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inquiry Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 lol sorry I tried... maybe one of the other administrators can figure out how to do this. To help them out, under user groups (for full members, advanced members, Fd team), under global commands, under PM, i changed the number of invites from none (meaning 1), to 25. That is the setting on my own user group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 I only checked the Members group yesterday, but Members, Full Members, and Advanced Members all have 25 invitees allowed, just like we do in the Admin group. I've been hunting around in the admin tool, looking for something that might be overriding this, but I haven't found anything yet. I'll ask Invision.

barmar Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 I just looked again, and Advanced Members had invites set to 0 -- I thought I checked it before. I just set it to 25. Try again Jilly and Blackshoe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BunnyGo Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 I am allowed up to 25 recipients and see the "other recipients" entry line. Thanks! Edit: Just realized I'm in "Full Members" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackshoe Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 I just looked again, and Advanced Members had invites set to 0 -- I thought I checked it before. I just set it to 25. Try again Jilly and Blackshoe.Yep, working properly now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgoetze Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Thanks! Now let's see how quickly I can fill my quota of 200 messages (I do hope we advanced members get more than full members? ;) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
