My PM Area?!!

[z8bimmer]

Why I can't enter my PM inbox? when ever I try to do that I get this message:

z8bimmer, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1- Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2- If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

what's the problem? does it need number of posts too, just like Avatars?

Beside, 100 post are too many

Any help?

Thank you... Never mind I understand & respect your security practices .. I wish you all the best, keep up your wonderful work..

These threads with questions and answers are a great idea .... except they reduce the need to post asking the questions and therefore keep us newbies posts down which is what we are asking the questions about.

So why cant I edit the post I started? It saying I cant put URLs smiles or wut ever but Im not. I tried puttin my email in to help sell my buddies car who pasted away a few months ago and now its seems to be sayin that everytime even when I just wanna edit some text. He had told me bout this forum and I figured it would be a great way to sell the car, but its turning into one big hassel.

[Kevlar]

Fairly simple really ... you're not allowed to post images until you have a certain number of posts.

Your original post happened to fall into a gap where that security measure was deactived. You should be taken care of now...

It took me a few days, but I finally found this link regarding PM's. I am currently buying a part from another member, and I ended up having to post my email address in the forum in order to contact him since the PM is apparently disabled for new members. It would be helpful if this information was prominently located in the FAQ, as I did not see anything regarding this restriction. I guess I'll have to endure the SPAM so you don't have to, as there does not appear to be any other way for he and I to communicate.

So you couldn't wait 7 days and post 10 useful posts?

Quite frankly you are whining, coming onto a forum and complaining about something that 99% of members have no problem with "and after your very long membership and post count " is a poor show on your behalf.

You could always try and be patient

Thanks for the kind reply and for resolving my questions!! It's such a pleasure to get such warm and helpful responses from this community! You guys are the greatest!! Obviously there is no need to worry about updating the FAQ since one really only needs to find someone like you to learn most of what needs to be known about this resource and its members!

All the best,
BS
