Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted May 26, 20222 yr Sometimes I try to send a private message to someone and I get the following error:
May 26, 20222 yr Author 1 minute ago, Nathan Explosion said: Ask them? Log in as them? Thank you. I'm signed in as the user. I went to account settings and cannot find a way to turn Messenger on or off?
May 26, 20222 yr It's on the bottom left of the PM screen. https://invisioncommunity.com/messenger/ Look below your list of messages for "Disable My Messenger" You can also check from the ACP. View the member's account and find: If you click Enable Messenger it will re-enable it.

I looked and did see "Disable My Messenger", which means it's enabled, right? That member has only 3 messages, all text, nothing big, so I don't think they're going over any kind of limit.
May 26, 20222 yr Solution Check the settings of the Group(s) they are in, Social sub-tab, Messages sub-section, and see how many conversations they are allowed to start.

However here's what's weird: their message allowance is 50, my ACP says they have 52, but when I'm signed in as them I see only 4 messages?

However here's what's weird: their message allowance is 50, my ACP says they have 52, but when I'm signed in as them I see only 4 messages? As Terabyte said, check other folders. When viewing their inbox, click the down arrow next to the mailbox name (default is Inbox). You should see other variants that the user has.
May 26, 20222 yr Also... you can can set groups like Admins and Moderators to be able to bypass limits on PM quota. ACP > Members > Groups Select a group that needs to be able to bypass the limit (like admins). Choose the "Social" tab and change "Override recipients' storage quota?" to be enabled.
May 27, 20222 yr If you can provide me with the name of the person sending the message, and the intended recipient, I can take a look for you
May 27, 20222 yr Author Thanks a lot for all your help. I ended up finding all the messages in her inbox. For now I chose to follow @Mark H and @Randy Calvert suggestions to increase the storage quota for members to 100 and override that quota for mods and admins. Those are great features! Topic solved, thanks all. Thank you @Marc Stridgen to offer to have a look, I appreciate it, even if it's no longer needed now. 😀
June 7, 20231 yr I've the same problem. Sender group has no limits in "Social" (except number of users in a message, this is 5). He wanted to send a message only to me, my group has no limits (except number of users in a message, this is 20). He get the message "Claudia cannot receive message". 10 minutes later he was able to send me the same message as written before.
