Sending Private Chats

When the Private Chat is enabled  all of the "Send Message buttons to contact the member will replace the Contact Form for the Private Chat. This means that if a user who's not logged in tries to contact the member they will be redirected to a login screen:

This will also be the case for the Contact Member button in the member posts. The user won't be allowed to contact the member unless they have an account and are logged in. In the post pages a modal will appear prompting the user to log in or create an account:

However, the general get-matched form will still be available in the default Member Profile Page sidebar for non-members:

If a member is logged in but is not active they won't have access to the private chat and will get this message:

If a member is logged in and his account is active and he searches for another member's profile, he can now send him a direct message:

As shown below, the regular contact form won't appear, instead, this other message field will appear:

Once the message is sent, it will redirect to the thread of the messages where the full conversation can be seen:

And the member that received the message will get a notification:

Members will have the option to upload images to the chat reply:

The members can easily click to the Send Message button and get taken to the Send Message text area field.

Report Private Chats

The members will have the ability to report any messages to the admin, this way if they are being harassed, it is possible to block the member for them.

After a message is reported, the member will get this success message:

The message will then appear as "REPORTED":

Once the message gets reported, the admin will get sent an email notification that uses this email template: conversation-flag-notification.
