Hi Michael T, also the settings section of the forum is a bit confusing - under the Email & Privacy section in the forum options, the setting to disable or enable receiving private messages is labeled "Allow other users to send me personal messages", and there are actually 2 checkboxes on the line there for it.

The checkbox on the left means to enable or disable it, and the checkbox on the right-hand side means "apply this setting globally to all forums" (for example to the French language forum which is another forum kind of parallel to this one) or only for this forum's settings.


Or maybe you ran into just some temporary glitch where the forum database was inaccessible for just that moment.


At any rate, please let me know if you continue to see any problems with it.

- Michael
