Mods,

Got an email that I received a PM, but when I click on the link:

You are not allowed to use the messenger feature on this board
Any ideas?

The PM was removed.

It has been a spam PM with a link to a site containing porn and malware.

I've just checked my email ice, and I have same email. What I did find happened when I logged on to E60 today, was that a new PM flashed up on the screen, but when I checked my in box it wasn't there!!

The thing was, the PM that flashed up wasn't from the spammer, but from the last genuine PM I received.... Has this something to do with the spammers PM being deleted by Admin??? Cos it was a bit weird

Yeah, this was probably caused by the deletion script Lomag used.

The PM disappeared, but your inbox was still set to open the pop up window and display the last message, because your PM system was set to "1 new message"... I guess.


Sounds right to me.

The PM got deleted, since it was a mass spam sent to all members.

Did all PM's become disabled?

I noticed I cannot find my PM box today.

Yep, Got the following email and cant read the message says 'Not Allowed to use Messenger Feature' when I click on the link. Also checked the members list and there seems to be no one by the name 'mignulikz'. Strange!
