Sends to banned members too for some reason?

Sends to banned members too for some reason?

True. Should I exclude only permanently or temporary as well ?

I would say allow the admin to have that choice? (but certainly AT LEAST permanent for most would make sense)

Ok, file updated. Just update your app install.

I would need an option to send the bulk pm only as a notification in the regular pm app (should look the same, no reply option). so members are redirected (once or until they click away) to a central pm page, so the database will stay small. Possible or idea for solution?

Some additional information and request:

- I really don't need a database explosion, if everyone in the forum should only get the SAME PM. But the idea behind is, that member accept the notification @PM better than "allow email by admins" feature during the registration process. If anybody has good ideas how to handle the marketing aspects, please tell. I believe PM features might have their own features.

There's another resource on MP that sends a notification, which is also a record on DB. So, the "explosion" on DB will also happen.

Did something possibly change after 4.1.8?  I can no longer select which groups I want to send the PMs to.

Not sure. Will test it and let you know tomorrow in the morning.

I think it may have to do with the version I had?  I noticed on the latest version it gave me the option to purchase and not download.  I thought this was odd as I have purchased this already.  More odd is the fact that when managing my purchases it said "Cancelled" which I have never done for this application.  Regardless I have purchased the latest version and it appears to be working just fine now.

Weirdo. Anyway, glad it's ok now.

Create the message. Send. Progress bar will appear. When it finish, it goes to the list of messages.

If something else happnes, there's an issue there.

See if you have any log on your system,.

Progress bar does not work, nothing moves. It does not look like work.

Now I know that the windows can not be closed. It does not work in the background.

This plugin sends a notification email that the recipient received the PM message?

If the user has the notification enabled, yes.

No, do not send notifications by e-mail. I have over 700 members, none of them got the new message notification PM.

[Adriano Faria]

Let me take a look.

Weird, really not sending, although it's there:

			        /* Add message */ 
					$message = \IPS\core\Messenger\Message::create( $conversation, $msg->content, TRUE, NULL, NULL, $pmSender );
					$conversation->first_msg_id = $msg->id;
					$conversation->save(); 
			        
			        /* Send notification */ 
					$notification = new \IPS\Notification( \IPS\Application::load('core'), 'private_message_added', $conversation, array( $conversation, $pmSender ) );
					$notification->send();

I'll fix it asap.

Not notified anyone. I checked on SparkPost, does not send no one the message.

Tried with SparkPost, Mandril, PHP Mail (IPS4)... really doesn't send.
