Does this function exist?

I hope so with atachments.

It exists as an extension:

https://github.com/FriendsOfFlarum/byobu
Private discussions for your forum. Allows you to select specific recipients for your discussions.

They are private discussions, not private message like phpBB.

It does require a bit of setup, but I imagine this is 10s of minutes to configure and test locally before deploying.

Make sure you configure the private discussions permission on the Admin Permissions tab to your needs;

Create private discussions with users

Create private discussions with groups

Create private discussions with blockers

Edit recipient users of private discussions

Edit recipient groups of private discussions

This way everything is a discussion like everything in WordPress is a post (simpler notifications, permissions, etc).

Maurice They are private discussions, not private message like phpBB.

So what does that mean. Every time I private message a member it is a discussion even though it probably is a one time message?

jsburger Not 100% sure, I should probably install Flarum and play around, but I'm assuming there would be a new forum called Messages or something like that.
