How do I send pm?
Hello,

I'm new to this forum and I'm trying to find out why I cannot post any private messages. When I try, I get a vague message about account activation after I've already received the automatic email and used the link.
I understand there's a restriction for initial users, but I can't find info on the time limit or post requirement for when this restriction ends.

I appreciate your help,

Mika

If I remember correctly, you need 5 posts to be able to send private messages.

This, and other information regarding restricted accounts are all in the FAQ's.

It has been reported that the private message system has been abused by new members, trying to spam their product or website, or seeking help from a knowledgeable user about a particular problem.

To prevent these types of problems, a new rule has been introduced.

Users with less than 10 posts will be unable to send private messages.

This means that you will be unable to:

* Create a signature to appear at the bottom of your posts;

* Upload an avatar for use in your profile;

* Change your user title to any custom text.

* Post in the shoutbox on the forums index.

* Upload attachments into post.


In addition, the first five posts of any users will have URLS and EMAIL ADDRESSES automatically purged from them. This is intended to deter people from signing up with the intent of spamming.
