Messages within the message center can be individually enabled or disabled. If a message is disabled, then no messages will be sent, even if individuals or groups are subscribed to them. The system allows the creation of versions of the messages for different languages. Only one language version of the message can be enabled at a time. Obliquid does not pick the language.

Messages administration provides the ability to modify the template of the message that gets sent. A message is composed to two parts. One is a template which provides the basic text, and uses variables to indicate where each of the pieces of information the script supplies should go. You are free to rewrite the text template, put the variables anywhere you want. You can even choose to not display some of the information. Without program modifications, you cannot add aditional variables.
