Because I'm my site's master admin, I don't experience this issue unless I'm logged in as a regular member... so i didn't notice a problem til a member wrote me... I think this has been going on since my last round of updates.
Even though i have my private notes module set with the "members can message only followers" checkbox NOT checked, it seems my regular members can now only PM their Followers. This is a change from how it was working before, when I had it so all members could PM all members regardless of Follower status. Now, member names will not pop up in autofill when composing messages, unless that person is following you.
(when logged in as an admin, I can PM all members so can't see this happening as strumelia)
I have a profile I created that is a true regular member quota, and it has about 6 followers- and those are the only names I can PM when I;m logged in as that profile. This is the same as a member wrote to tell me what was happening to them... whereas previously they had no probs PM'ing anyone (they are a 'greeter' on my site so they often write to other members) That member who wrote me has LOTS of followers, so they only tend to notice this issue with new members who are not following them yet.
JR Devs- perhaps you can see this happen on your demo sites. If not, let me know and I'll open a ticket and give you the login info for my test member that's in the regular member quota so you can see it clearly.
Thanks!
