Hello everybody,

As you know this site has pm+ and I want a similar group to this on my forums. How did you manage to set this up. Was it a mod and if so could someone provide me with a link to download it (or a file)

Thanks

Edit: Solved thanks to Fowler and others!
 
I think you just need to create another usergroup and increase the pm limit to it. There might be a mod for that but I am not sure as I am a MyBB and SMF user only 🙂

No mod is needed. Create anew user group then go to "Manage Groups" and click settings next to the group you created. Then for the field "Group private message limit per folder:" set what you want the max folder size to be. Then you can just add users to the group and they get the higher PM limit per folder.
 
If one wants to increase everyones' PM amount without people requesting for it, in the phpbb acp, there is a page called "Private Message Settings" that you can access from the acp index, and you could increase the overall limit there.

If you were to just create a group, you would need to do what Fowler suggested. 🙂

Thanks Fowler. I will do that now.
Now I can have a pm+ group if this site is ok with that?
 
Go on... do it, you know you want to! :lol:

It is your forum so you are free to do whatever you want. No reason anyone from FP will object to you doing it. It is just you using the softwares built in features in a slightly different way from the way it was intended 🙂
