[Question ]I can't send private message! [Answer: You must have minimum 50 posts at forum]

Hello Team,

I used to be able to start conversations using the PM method on the old website before the change.

I joined at the beginning of June 2021, but this website says I only joined in September of 2022.

Anyway, I don't have the ability to start a new conversation so can you help me to gain this ability please?

Thank you.

Try now !

 

[kippysat]

OK Thanks giving it a go

So it works for some member names, but not others.

Can a member choose not to receive conversations?

Probably the person your trying to message has a full inbox.

 

[kippysat]

OK.

Does it still work like that? I have no option to delete, only leave conversation?
Don't think there's a limit anymore?

There’s an option in your profile privacy section to not allow user’s to start conversations with you

That only gives these options for me
Members only
People you follow
Nobody

I guess if you select nobody then nobody can start a con with you

 

[kippysat]

Ahh, now that might explain why a friend of mine is not available to me.

He might be choosing a restricted option.

Yes but the person he's trying to pm vcan be sent messages by me.

 

[smithysmudger]

Yes but the person he's trying to pm vcan be sent messages by me.

He maybe follows you?

 

[kippysat]

I follow Manic, Ferret, and a few others, so maybe that is it?

Hi,

Is there a qualifying number of forum posts required before a member can send new PM's?
I am able to receive and reply to PM's but cannot seem to locate the option to send a new PM to other members?

I have looked around my profile/privacy options but can't seem to locate any settings for sending PM's?
Just above "Account Details" there is a section named "Settings" in my setup but it seems inactive?

My privacy option for "Allow users to start conversations with you" is set to "Members Only"


Any help to resolve most appreciated.

All good, the option to start a new conversation is now active.
Thank you for your prompt help.
