Sorry, I posted in my journal, but I'm moving house this weekend, and a new job to keep up with, so I've been distracted these last few days. I will get to it asap but the problem with fixing this issue is that I could potentially, permanently break private messages, so I want to make sure I have my head as clear as possible and all my tests done on the back-up site, so we don't have that happening. This takes time though, as you can imagine. I'm no IT guy, not yet anyway, so I need to research as much as possible before I do absolutely anything.
No one wants me permanently breaking the privates messages system I'm sure haha.
Like I said, it's not a quick fix sorry.
