I just registered and activated my account, but when I try to send a private message (or even view my inbox) it says I don't have permission. How do I get access to send private messages? Do I have to be friends with someone first?


Thanks!
 
Wow, very fast reply. I thought I activated when I followed the link that was e-mail to me after I registered. Is there something I'm missing?
 
this is all just theory

it may be that you need to reach a certain post count to be able to send private messages, to stop bots logging in and spamming users with PM's advertising a big penis/iphone. jsut a guess though.
 
Maybe that's it. Can an admin tell me how many posts I need? It's been years since I've grown, but I could give some newbs a little advice. :)

If this helps, the error message I get:

joe4444, 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.
 
well if some newbs needd some advice, get on in there and help them, i have no idea on what the amount of posts is, if this is infact how it works, but you'll get there in no time. i can normally find 5 interesting threads to read and comment on each time i hit new posts
 
Like Tip Top said, just participate by posting some more, and all the privileges will magically be available.


Welcome to Rollitup! :bigjoint:

i'll PM a mod and see if they can change anything. all i can say is it's odd that you've joined the forum specifically to send a PM to someone?
 
thanks, tip top toker.

I just found an option for a paid subscription, and in the list of features it includes "500 private message allowance" so does that mean PMs are only allowed for paying members?
 
I have 53 now it still can't access PMs. Any other ideas? I've only been a member for a few days. Does PM access kick in after a week or something?

Who fixes it ?? ,a private message would be easier then starting threads trying to contact someone specific for questions pertaining to certain subjects

I am no spam bot..lol.. ,and thought there was general guide lines on these forums about this kind of stuff ,but for some reason I can not pm nor seem to find out what exactly the site wants me to contribute to beable to do so ??

Thanks
