Private messages

[DougLehman]

I just got a notification that I had a private message but I'm not allowed to see him. Do I have a minimum number of posts that I have to do first?

It is probably from Bootsy (Thomas) the administrator of the site giving updates.
You have to have 3 posts or more to send messages, not sure why you can not open one though?

Did you click on the top right hand corner of the forum where your user name is and it says ‘Private messages’ ?

Just coming back on the private message piece, I too had a notification of a private message but when trying to open get comment I am not authorised to view….any ideas how to gain access?

For security reasons the Private Message system does not activate until you’ve made 5 posts on the forum - it’s to prevent scammers and automation.

But if a mass private message is sent (by me - a ddk update) then it will sit there until the system is live for you after sufficient posts
