How to send a private message?

[krokan]

Hello,
how can I send a private message to another user? I need to contact him as he is using a custom motor firmware and i have questions regarding it.

Thanks for any tip.

New members need to have made 10 or more posts to send a PM. I think they introduced it to stop scammers signing up and sending fake messages to people.

You could just ask the question in the thread where you've read about it and ask them to PM you.

Now I have 11 points, but still can't send the private message ((

 

[krokan]

Ha, now I can.. so >11

I believe it was introduced to stop people joining up, advertising a bike and then moving on.

Its 10 posts, and it was mainly to stop scammers joining and PM'ing people offering non existent parts and bikes for sale with too good to be true deals. A few people sadly got scammed this way.

10 posts means that (whilst not ideal) we can be a bit more sure the user is legit. Not 100% foolproof, but much better than it was.

Ah yes, a blue screen of death. As a past software developer I might possibly have seen that before.

Edit: "a blue" instead of "the blue" because there are more than one.

Ah!
Is it true the then that C+ is just as good as eating an Apple or BigMac? Or will that give me the apps?

Maybe I’ll just stop drinking….

It's not a PM or private message it's a "Start conversation"

Do I need to write useful post to get access to PM ?

As modern game grinding is necessary ?

Most of my post are useless, like this one, and I still have PM access.

I remember when I was allowed to finally send a Private Messages. It was a memorable moment, but the wait for the 10 message threshold was not in vain. During that time I learned how to count.
Oh look! You have 5 more messages to go.
Congrats in advance.

Thank you, I look forward to joining the ranks!

Ok, need to make my replies fast to get this option available

Can you receive PMs if you don't have a high enough post count?

 

[Mapper]

Answered my own post here - apparently you can.

 

[Higgsy@2060]

Same issue understand now

 

[machaggis]

Do replies count as posts - 6?

 

[Chromedomey]

Yes. Glad I found this thread too. Thanks all.

 

[DoesntHeckle]

I’m in the same boat - just need to post more

Same here, waiting patiently...

Apparently if you have too many useless post you go back to zero. I’m obviously at risk. The Moderators have been patient with me.
