    Hi, Adam. It’s a setting you need to allow.

    Does that help?

    Hi Adam,

    That setting is per-forum. So while you may now have it enabled in Default Preferences, you also need to click Edit next to the actual forum and enable it there too. Does that help?

    Adam ,

    I don’t believe this is a feature of Private Messaging unfortunately
