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.

If you click on the user's name you should see an option to 'Start conversation'.

No, there are only two buttons Follow and Ignore.

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.

Aha... That's why.. ok. Thank you.

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

 

[krokan]

Ha, now I can.. so >11

You need to have a minimum number of posts before you can use some features. Private Messages is one of them. I have no idea what the exact rules are, but no doubt they are listed somewhere on this Forum.
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.

One more post towards my PM allowance!

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.

Oh look! You have 5 more messages to go. Exploring the intricacies of a "Linear write test no display" issue has been a fascinating journey! As a writing enthusiast, delving into the challenges of troubleshooting has heightened my problem-solving skills. Every setback becomes a stepping stone toward mastery. In this context, the link https://essaypro.cоm/homework-planner serves as a valuable resource, reminding me that just as writing has its puzzles, so do technical challenges. The fusion of creativity and logic in both domains is truly enriching. Each problem, like an unwritten essay, holds the potential for a brilliant solution. Embracing these complexities fuels my passion for writing and problem-solving alike!
Congrats in advance.

Thank you for the nostalgic and humorous reflection on reaching the Private Messages milestone. The journey to 10 messages has its own charm, and it seems you've appreciated the process while showcasing a positive attitude. Best of luck with the remaining 5 messages!
