Good Morning: I was going crazy to create the private messages feature, but in the end I think I hit the mark. In the item bar, outside the user options, under MORE, I have added the private messages / groups function. It is a function to create conversation groups within the forum where the "Secret group" option works as a private message to one member or more than one. The other two options are "Public group" (like a forum thread but only accessible by forum members. I think this function is not very useful, but I will leave it in principle) and "Private group" (the group of Discussion appears public for all members but access must be requested to enter it). Although I think everything works fine, at the slightest hint of error or lack of privacy let me know. Privacy is essential and I will disable the feature immediately if it fails. I make it public because I have spent all morning submitting it to all kinds of tests and it has not failed, but remember that while we are in BETA there may be failures. Thank you.

I haven’t a clue how to start a PM. I don’t think I have received any either.
I didn't start the message, but there are 11 people in the group. Everyone else is having similar difficulties.
Perhaps it depends on the number of participants.
Created one about a week ago and it seems to work ok thus far.
The private messaging seems to be very buggy. There is no linear thread, posts seem to appear and disappear and you can't read all the posts at once. Someone has said it works if you press "See more" but I haven't even seen anything like "See more".
I just fixed a configuration error that required permission from administrators to start a secret group (private conversation). My sincerest apologies. This was precisely one of the things that they wanted not to happen under any circumstances. This has happened because in the internal tests that I made of the function the permission was granted automatically, but it is not the case when asked by a member who is not an administrator. I just corrected it and I hope now they are SECRET conversations. Anyway, I want to remember that these errors can occur in the BETA version. Report anything out of the ordinary that you see. Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience.
