Everyone should please go to this page:

http://www.dansdeals.com/forums/index.php?action=pm;sa=settings

and in the box that says "Receive Personal Messages from:" choose "All Members"

I'm sorry I don't know why this happened or how to change it for everyone.

Wow, that's a bizarre default setting...is there no way to change that for everyone?
Just changed it for my account.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

I couldn't figure out a way to change it. I was getting messages from people even though it was set to Administrators only. Maybe I'll go into the database and change it. It seems like even new members have this as a default setting. Weird.

If anyone knows SQL, I need a script that will do something like this:

SELECT * FROM smf_members WHERE pm_receive_from = 1 and change it to 0

Thanks

EDIT: Ok, I changed it all using the code:

Code: [Select]
UPDATE `smf_members` SET `pm_receive_from` = '0' WHERE `pm_receive_from` = '1'
Now we just need to figure out how to do it for a default user.

You must have a configuration screen for that. And if not, 1000's others will be stuck with the same problem. IOW, plenty of solutions on google.

If you send me the sites php, I will have a look.

I've checked and there is no configuration for default...but I'll post on the SMF forums and see what they say.

While @ it, if you could arrange that in the mobile version, when I get a list of unread topics, I should be able to select the last page, instead of entering the topic, and then selecting 1,2,3,4>

Does the php script that creates a new user explicitly set "pm_receive_from" to 0? if yes change it to 1 and if not you can just set the default value in MySQL to 1.

That's what I'm looking into. But lemme ask you, how can I set the default value using phpmyadmin?

If the field value isn't determined by the signup of a new member, there should be a default value that can be set.

Im not the big phpmyadmin genius, but remember it was pretty straightforward.

In the "Structure" tab for that table click the edit icon for that field and one of the options there is "Default"
Depending on the configuration (version?) you'll have either a single text field or a drop-down list with a text field, in that case choose the "as defined" option in the drop-down and put the value in the text field.

(like superflyer said, it's pretty straightforward...)

Thanks! I changed it to Zero. Let's hope it works.

Just register a fake user, and delete later.

Should work just fine.
