Message Problems

[Ian Burke]

Hi,

I am trying to send a pm from my account but am unable to do so. I have one message in my inbox, a welcome from the forum admin, I am unable to open this message or delete it due to restrictions on the account and the one message is also showing the limit on the account as being full.

Can anyone please advise me on this/on how I can send messages

Thanks in advance

Ian

Newbies can't use the PM system until they reach a certain amount of posts. It used to be 10, but might be 20/25 now.
When you reach the magic figure you also need to wait for the server to update.

Amazing what you can find out by reading the rules

7. New Users. (Newbies)
If you are a new user, you are temporarily restricted from posting in our For Sale section, adding a signature and making use of the private messaging system. Please ensure you take some time to read all of the FAQ/Rules part of the forum.

Restricted use for Newbies: ALL new users are restricted until they have reached above 10 forum posts. Please note that this does not include any General Topic sections.

PLEASE DO NOT SPAM THE FORUMS IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET YOUR POST COUNT UP!

However we DO recommend the Introductions section as a good place to start to get your post counts up, say hello!

Once 10 posts of more are reached, Newbies will then be automatically upgraded to Full Members.

NOTE: There is a 24 hour turnaround on the server, so though you may reach or even surpass 10 posts, it will be approx 24 hours after the point you reach 10 posts, that the server updates your user status to a Full Member. Please be patient!
