PM issue.

Like that, according to their help page. To make a rules thread like the ones you've seen, post it, then tick the box and click "stick thread" in the drop-down menu at the bottom of the page, then "Go." This places the thread at the top of the forum, outside the normal posting order.



Then do the same, but click "close thread" before "Go." You now have a thread that's always at the top of the forum and which nobody can reply to.

I'll look into this more. I guess I haven't explored my options well enough.

I've been on this forum since the start and I'm not a mod.

I think with PMing other people, I am more used to people posting in my Profile discussion page. It sends an email to me right away about it. And no one has yet to PM me here anyway.

Right now I'm the only Mod on the forum. I don't know why. Bunni just didn't get around to it, so don't take it personal.

I do the moderator thing on a number of forums, as well as admining my own. With a bunch as small and law-abiding, one or two mods/admins is all that's really necessary.
