 * I have published a new plugin to enhance communication between the users of your
   blog. It provides a way to easily send messages (private, public or even emails).
   Check it out at [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-messages](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-messages)

 * Dear vprat,
    The plugin you made is really nice. I would like to say great work.
   After playing a little with the plugin I have found these bugs.
    - user cannot send private message only with ‘UM – Send Private Messages’ capability.
      A user can only send private message if he is assigned both ‘UM – Send Public
      Messages’ & ‘UM – Send Private Messages’ capability. If user is assign only‘
      UM – Send Private Messages’ capability ‘You are not allowed to send public
      messages’ error message shown when sending.
    - Reply To Sender & Reply To All Recipients dose not function after clicking.‘
      You must select at least one recipient.’ error message shown when sending 
      message
 * Fixing these bug will make the plugin more functional.
 * Thanks you.

 * Yeah.. This is the only problem with this plugin. authors and contributors cant
   send private messages or reply to any..
 * I hope this will be fixed soon.

 * Hi vprat!
 * I just have one question: is there any version of your plugin that will work 
   with wp v2.6.5 because I cannot upgrade to 2.8.4 (since 2.7, wordpress use more
   than 24M of memory)??
 * Thanks!

 * Really great work, Vincent. Have been waiting for something like this for so 
   long. Thanks a lot.
    I was wondering if there is any way to display the names
   of users in alphabetical order instead of registration-order?
 * Thanks again,

 * A shame that the capability names are too long (using Role Manager with custom
   roles and keep getting errors), so I can’t give anyone the capability of sending
   emails, sending/receiving PM’s etc.
 * Appears I can’t even give ’em the capability of using the plugin. Seems to me
   the dashes in the capability names are the issue (since they all don’t work and
   NextGen capabilities do work and they’re a bit long too).

 * Should be fixed in version 1.2.0:
    – I was wondering if there is any way to display
   the names of users in alphabetical order instead of registration-order? – capability
   names are too long and use dashes – authors and contributors cant send private
   messages or reply to any

 * Great plugin, but still one thing left as bug:
    **– contributors cant send private
   messages or reply to any**
 * (I did not try with authors)
 * Thanks

 * p.s. I upgraded to Version 1.2.2 and still have the same problem:
    – contributors
   cant send private messages or reply to any
 * (error description: You are not allowed to send **public** messages)
 * I use Role Manager but still no effect..

 * This bug has been corrected already in version 2.1.0 (commercial one). I will
   not update version 1.2.2 anymore because the differences with 2.x are becoming
   quite big and maintaining two branches is too much.
 * However, for this one I can give you the patch: you can replace all the “$this-
   >type” by “$type” in the file Messenger.php, lines 67 to 73.

 * Thank you! That means you’re done with this plugin.
    Now it’s workin’ FINE!

 * No, I am not done with this plugin. But I keep developing the “commercial” version(
   available for 7€). Many more features got implemented in that one. From time 
   to time I might release an update or two to this 1.x branch to keep it compatible
   with the WordPress versions.
 * But my focus is now primarily 2.x versions.

 * I thought so. I wanted to say that the plugin now works well and I am satisfied
   with noncommercial version. I’m sure that the commercial one has more features.
 * And thank you for this:
