I wanted to use the PM facility but get the message "You are not authorised to send private messages." Have I upset someone? :?

Ah. Hmm. Well, I didn't deliberately turn it off for you (or anyone else), but I have been doing some "housekeeping", including some database check/repair stuff, and I did get a few worrying error messages...

I still seem to be able to send them - I've sent you one as test.

Is anyone else seeing the same thing?

Yes. It was okay yesterday if that's any help.

Hmm, right. It was this afternoon that I did the housekeeping. I'll investigate...

I haven't received anything and my profile still states I'm not authorised. It's probably unrelated but I keep being logged out and having to re log on but I have experienced this before and it seems to resolve itself.

Everyone is getting the same message. Steve has posted on Announcements. This thead probably needs locking.

Steve,
I still get the "You are not authorised to send private messages." message in my profile (since 2 August)
Has PM been turned off or something?
Cheers,
Graeme.

It's broken - https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3170

I'm on holiday (at home) for two weeks after this week, so I'll have some time to have a look at it. I'll probably install the latest software and see if I can get PMs working again.
