Why can't I PM?

Makeitgreen · 03-02-2009, 02:52 PM

I've seen several people mention PM's, but I don't have the option in my control panel.

Was I a really bad girl, and now I'm being punished?!

SweetPoison2 · 03-02-2009, 02:53 PM

I think to use PM and the Playground you have to be here a set amount of time and a set number of posts!

So ~

Get postin, woman!

Goldenrod · 03-02-2009, 02:56 PM

Yeah...there's a minimum # of posts you need to make before you get the "privilege" of sending PMs. I don't know what the exact # is though...sorry!

I just notcied and saw that you have over 130 posts, though. I thought the miniumum was closer to 50.

In order to PM, left-click on the username of the person you want to PM (in their profile at left)...a few options should come up, including sending a PM to that person. (i.e., it's not in the "User Control Panel." Well, actually, I think you *can* go that route, but this way's easier. If the person you want to write to doesn't have the minimum # of posts, I don't think they can even *receive* PMs.)

Yeah, we can't even PM you.

kathy76 · 03-02-2009, 03:02 PM

It is the amount of time

Also, to PM you click on the user name of who you want to PM and a bunch of options come up.

Trying to help with your post count!
TO gain access to the PG you need to be a member for 60 days and have 60 posts.

Makeitgreen · 03-02-2009, 03:04 PM

I can't PM them! HAHA!

It's all good. I can wait. I'm just glad to know that I'm not losing my mind, that I really don't have the ability yet.

Makeitgreen · 03-02-2009, 03:05 PM

25 days???

BarbDe · 03-02-2009, 03:06 PM

star a.d. · 03-02-2009, 04:51 PM

I was wondering about PM privileges myself!

Makeitgreen · 03-02-2009, 05:28 PM

Heather, If you must know, you're one of 'em! Also I read someone say on a thread that she would give info about her experience with PCOS, just pm her. But I can't! I also wanted to PM Brandy, she's onnna mah heroines here, I just can't get enough of her posts! And also inatic and Chris, for being so kind to answer a noob's questions in the excercise section.

Wow, that's alot.
