Message receipts

derrick

Looking into my PM’s, I find this:- “You have 0 confirmed and 1 unconfirmed private message receipts”

But when I click on it I get this message:-

“derrick, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.”

So what is the point of the first message, (“You have 0 confirmed and 1 unconfirmed private message receipts”) when I seem unable to access it’s content? and what is it?

None of the above restrictions apply to me, or at least I do not think they do, I am certainly not trying to edit someone else's post etc.

The message receipt system was disabled shortly after this new board was first set up. It think a lot of people found them annoying.

Disabling stuff in vbulletin just denies you permission to use a page rather than deleting anything - which is why you get that message.

It is only the reciept you cannot get access to - not the original PM, which I'd imagine was deleted a long time ago

So is there any point having the confirmed message receipts on show? can't they be done away with? i.e. deleted from the pm page so they are not seen?

I don't think you can, I'm a forum moderator on another forum, its not vbulletin so I'm not sure but I don't think so.
