Hello,
If you send a private message to a user and activate the checkbox "This is a notice to all users", instead of sending a private message the system send a kind of sticky notice to all users. In the default buddy press theme you can see something similar to a post-it in the right sidebar (see attachment).
Using the BuddyPress Fun theme, there is no such notice. Isn't it active? Any way to activate it? It's really helpful.

Sorry for the delay. Yes, the checkbox appears...but doesn't work. You can check it, but you won't see any notice on the sidebar (as the screenshot I attached using the default theme).

Hey there! :-)
Just checking in to see how things are going with this one and if you need any further help. :-)
We haven't heard from you on this thread for a while. So I'm going to presume your all fixed up now and don't need any further assistance.
However if you have more questions or need some more help then please feel free to respond in this thread or create a new one and we will be more than happy to offer assistance. :-)
I wrote in this topic for the last time in late December, asking for any update or news...but I had no answer. The issue is still there, the checkbox is being showed but it's not working. I'm using the latest version of buddy press and Fun Theme, but it's not working.
This is the same in bp Corporate. I can SEND notices but they don't show up anywhere.
I'll try putting the code into my copy of the sidebar template and see if that works, but you might want to include it in the next update of BP Corporate. Unless I'm missing something.
Fortunately I was digging around in the back of the ticket system and came across your response to this ticket and have found that you have replied to a ticket that was closed months ago and that it was monitored by folks that are no longer with WPMU Dev.
If I had not been digging you may have thought we were ignoring you which is certainly not the case.
Please open a new ticket and fell free to copy and paste relevant items from this ticket into the new ticket so that we appropriately address your issues and be sure to pick the relevant theme when doing so.
Thank you for your understanding and for being a WPMU Dev Member!

Hi daniel.martin.alonso,
I'm unable to see that option with the latest version of BuddyPress, are you on the latest version 1.5.1?
The latest version provides a Private and Public messaging buttons as shown here:
Could you let us know the version and perhaps the theme you're using?

Hi David,
I'm using the latest version, and your BuddyPress Fun Theme.
This option is shown where an admin (only works for admins) click on another user's profile and click the "Private Message" button.
Thanks.

Hmm, I wonder, are you using the latest version of the theme? I just went through a test of that section and saw the option there as illustrated:

Hey there.
Sometimes users also get support over email or live chat, so I wasn't sure if it had been resolved.
I'm just going to get this theme loaded and have a look.
Thanks.

I see what you mean. I'll get this passed onto the developer. :-)
Thanks for reporting this.

OK, this didn't work for me. I obviously don't know where to put it -- or it doesn't work in BP Corporate.
Anyone have a clue they can lend me?
