    Angry help me with PMing!

    Is it possible to PM more than one person at a time? I have forum membership on some other web sites and they allow this.

    If so, can someone tell me how to do it? If not, I'll just PM one by one.

    thank you

    I don't believe you can PM more than one member at a time.

    I don't mean to be presumptuous, but why would you want to send out a "mass" PM? My first thought is spam, but again, I'm not suggesting you wish to spam the boards. I just don't know why you'd want to send out identical PMs to multiple members.

    Oh, I just had a few friends I wanted to inform on the boards. Wondered why I couldnt PM 2 people.

    I don't blame you for your assumption, but I am not a spammer

    I understand. Again, I did not mean to imply you were a spammer. It just immediately springs to mind when I hear that request (call me jaded, I suppose).

    Anyways, perhaps I'm wrong. Maybe a mod will explain how to do it.

    Just curious. What other boards allow you to PM multiple members? I'm a member of many boards and I've never seen that. Are they VB boards?

    <<< My vB site >>> allows people to send mass PMs to 5 people Max. I think you can adjust it in the admin panel

    If you add them to your buddy list, you can click the Buddy Send icon and send to five.

    And SMF allows for multiple recipients to send to, as well as to BCC.
