Sending a PM

[Shaun]

Have looked at the instructions in this thread but so far with no luck. I don't seem to get the option to type anything into the inbox pop up when it appears. Clicking on a person's avatar as described above is no better. Is this because I am a relatively new and inactive member so far or am I missing something?

It's part of our anti-spam measures - we don't allow brand new members to start conversations. You can received them, but sending will kick in once you've got a few more posts under your belt.

Thanks – thought it might be that...

I'm newbie who got stuck on this too. How many posts are needed?

Can't remember, but if you are in a hurry why not tag (@ followed by username) the member you want to contact and ask him/her to pm you?

Many thanks for this suggestion - meanwhile I got there just by adding more posts. 8 is certainly enough - it may be less - e.g. 5.

You can do it both ways.

I thought that was Ms Goodbody's speciality

How dare you. that kind of talk could get you into terrible trouble here. you will have to ask @Fnaar about that anyway. he is the expert so to speak.

My apologies, I usually tag Fnaar, and had forgotten the return to the fold
