How do you send someone a PM?

hikergurl · 06-11-2011, 08:58 PM

I feel like a dork for asking this, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to send someone a private message. Can someone help me? Thanks!

I can't either...I'm pretty sure you have to have a certain number of posts or something.

I believe that you have to have 25 posts before you can PM someone. I think that is to stop spammers from pming us.

Someone told me 30 posts and 30 days. It isn't one or the other but both.

When the time comes, just click on their screen name and it'll give you the option to send a private message, but not before it's your time to do it. That's one way of checking.

You have to be a member 25 days and have 25 posts to use the PM system
Also, please keep in mind that the TOS applies to PM's, not just posts.

Thank you

I'm bumping up this thread because I've been searching for the answer to this. It's too bad that spammers make these restrictions necessary

I'd like to be able to send my friends messages that I don't want the whole board to see.
