Why can I no longer PM multiple users?

[Nathan]

For at least several weeks now if I try to send a private message with multiple recipients separated by semicolons, I get an error message like this:

Too many recipients - you are attempting to send to 4 users but you are only allowed to send to 1 users.

It used to work. What's going on here?

Just sent a message to 5 people yesterday. That's weird.

Try it now.

I have had the same problem, but for a longer time. I figured they just changed the permissions or something.

Try it now.

It's fixed!

I still have the problem.
