I had made a link to the PMS only available to "special" users because I was testing and did not want all the "registered" users to use the PMS yet. I did not htink that this link would affect access to the PMS through the fireboard profiles.
Registered users could still access the PMS from fireboard and see a list of messages, but that's it.
As soon as I changed the link I created on my user menu from special to registered it then fixed ny issue with the registered send and receive ability.
Now my only problem is I can't use the notifier module. It functions perfectly, but if I follow it to read and then compose a message I get the 401 error someone else posted about. I am not using any CB plug in on this site.
