User Group Settings

Can add attachment to message?

This setting enables/disables the ability for members to send attachments with their private messages.

Restrict message to friends

When disabled, the user group will be able to message any member. This is handy for admin, staff, moderators.

Flood control

This setting helps you control how many message users are sending, per user group. When set, users in the user group will be restricted to sending the number of messages per minute/hour/day. This can be good to use for a banned user group and set it at 0 to cool off a members who may be causing trouble.

Message Storage Limit

This sets the total number of messages that can be stored.
