Difficulty Sending PM’s

[OldNorthState]

I have been trying to send PM’s for the last few days since I have joined The Hide and I am not able to do so. Does anyone know a fix for this issue? Thanks!

Are you still having trouble? I hear you need three forum posts to gain the pm function.

I can't message either. Guess I need to post instead of lurk

Yes you are new and not allowed to send PMs yet. For how long I do not know.

@Rob01 can you tell him what the rule is on being new and PMs?

You are right in that new members can not PM from the start anymore due to the large amount of scammers we have been seeing. I am not sure how long @Lowlight or @alexj-12 set the time frame to but it was needed so new members just enjoy the site and don’t worry about PMs at first.

You apparently have to make three approved posts before you can start a conversation with anyone.

I was told you need to make three moderator approved posts before you’re allowed to start a conversation.
