How Do I...

Postby zephyp » Mon, 08 Mar 2010 19:50:32

send a PM to multiple members? Do I separate the names with a comma or semicolon ?

Anyone know? And no, this is not a test. I dont know the answer... :whistle:

Maybe we need a How Do I topic somewhere...

You should be able to separate email addresses with a space and a semicolon ;

I have disabled the ability to send PMs to multiple users in an effort to prevent spam. I think we can probably loosen that restriction and see how it goes.

I set it to ten. Is that enough?

Thanks, Rick. Ten is plenty. So is it comma, semicolon or either?

Thanks much. So now we can spam people 10 at a time... :hysterical:

Actually I'm trying to figure out how to send a PM to 2 or 3 people and know the syntax for separating names is different depending on the SW...

Easiest way to do it is start a pm, and above the add button, click Find a Member. Type in their username in the box, click search. Once it lists the name at the bottom, check the box and click the button. Then click the add button..... I do this for each name I want to add.
