Greetings Michael,

This has happened twice this year. When I clicked on the Private Messages link this message appeared:

You currently have private messages disabled in your profile.
To be able to use the private messaging system this setting must be enabled.

I have tried to resolve it myself by searching far-and-wide and high-and-low around the User CP page. I have clicked on everything. Read every page twice that I thought was relevant.

Both times our Admin fixed it for me.

I simply sent an email to:

admin@se23.com

And, as if by magic, my PM appeared.

I hope that this helps.
