Forum Private Messaging
The PMS messaging service for the forum was inactivated because of some problems loosing messages.
However, if we are to shut down the bbctalk listserve, then BBC members will need a way to communicate outside the public forum. The PMS provides such a "vehicle".
Alternately BBC members need access to a complete rider directory of email and other contacts. Although for the Forum paradigm to work correctly, the PMS is the way to go.
One problem with PMS is specifying multiple message recipients.

Re: Forum Private Messaging
In the PM systems I've dealt with, multiple recipients can be looked up and added, separated by some sort of delimiter.
2011 mileage=17,344 miles;2012 mileage=11,414 miles; 2013 mileage=12,169 miles; 2014 mileage=5,156 miles; 2015 mileage=6,200 miles; 2016 mileage=17,503 miles; 2017 mileage=4,454 miles;2018 mileage=6,749 miles;2019 mileage=4,139 miles;

If you Preview a PM and then Submit it, then body of the message will be BLANK on receipt and the message will NOT be retained in the Sent folder.

Re: Forum Private Messaging
I tried to respond to a PM that Steve sent me, but kept getting "Invalid User - Steve" in response.
Maybe this is because it's deactivated, but I have had records sent to me.
2011 mileage=17,344 miles;2012 mileage=11,414 miles; 2013 mileage=12,169 miles; 2014 mileage=5,156 miles; 2015 mileage=6,200 miles; 2016 mileage=17,503 miles; 2017 mileage=4,454 miles;2018 mileage=6,749 miles;2019 mileage=4,139 miles;
Re: Forum Private Messaging
There is still a problem with PM so I turned it off again. I sent a message to the author of Agora alerting him to the problem of PM messages disappearing if you preview or send them. As soon as he resolves it I will reinstate the PM function with the fix.
Re: Forum Private Messaging
Since the problem only happens after doing a preview, I would prefer to have the functionality of a flawed PM.
If the bbctalk listserv is to be shut anytime soon, the PM system has to be available.
Only other possibility is open access to people's email in order to do private conversations.
(And reduce public forum junk).

Re: Forum Private Messaging
OK, but if I get any complaints I will shut it down again.
