How do we send PM
Fishfly
Click on the person's name and click send message, that's how you send PM's
RustPuppet
I think PMs are disabled until you get a certain number of posts.
Paul
They are disabled for new members.

You need to advance to a new class.

Rusty, this poses a problem for the junk pile
RenegadeNukes
I think that the rule about PM's should be ammended so that all user groupos can use the Pm system. It will solve the Junk pile problem
Paul
dude, the rule was put into place so that spammers don't join and spam other users via PM.

That rule will not be changed anytime soon.
RenegadeNukes
Ah okay. Forgive my lack of knowledge on that matter. I have never been on a forum where spam was a problem :sorry:
Paul
lol, thats because they have all these measures in place ;-)

problem is that v9 is very well loved by search engines, which is why we have 300+ people surfing the site any anyone time, and that's mostly visitors just passing through, naturally we are going to attract spammage.

Its both unfortunate, but also a good sign that we're doing well enough to be targetted

On the contrary, I think it solves the problem of potentially dodgy members trying to scam people.
Paul

RustPuppet
They can make 10 posts if they're so legit tongue.gif

It actually says you need to have 1 post before you can send any pm.
Gitano
Thats no longer true.
The minimum is now 5.

Where did you see that Bone? So we can fix it!
Bone
Oh. When I came to this forum I got one post and I could send pm. I guessed it changed so quickly to 5.
Well when I came to this forum I tried to send a pm and it said you'll have to get one post. And when I got one post I just sent you a pm. Remember?
cyfermaster
I checked the settings and it was incorrectly set to 1 post. I have since changed this to be 5.
Gitano
You are correct Bone, we have changed it since you joined!

Lets amend some of that info hey paul/CrEaTi0n/cyfer?
I think it must be an error message or splash screen or something that says 1 post still biggrin.gif
cyfermaster
Maybe it said 1 post because at that stage he only needed 1 post...? Just a thought.
Gitano
Ahhh, possible biggrin.gif
Bone
So now the minum post to send pm is 5. Is that Correct?
cyfermaster
Yes. Thread closed.
