Cant send private messages - read the first post

[Bruce473]

EDIT BY ADMIN: You need 5 posts ***PLUS*** the hourly task has to run that promotes you to the usergroup that can PM. 5 posts, then you have to wait until the task promotes your account.


I am trying to buy some parts for my superjet and was trying to contact a member via pm but dont seem to be able to do so.

I know i am basically a new member as i havent made any posts on this forum yet but i have been signed up for a few years.

Is there a forum rule that you need X amount of posts first?

Thanks Mark

They recently raised the limit.... I think it's up to 7 now, not sure why... Maybe one of the mods can chime in.

It's 5 posts, but the task that promotes you only runs once every hour, it's not immediate.

Read the thread

 

[SuperJETT]

The purpose is to stop spammers that sign up and send pms to members without posting.
