How does one PM another member here on senior forums?
I don't see why not. You start a conversation by nominating the person you want to message and then you have to wait for them to notice it and decide to respond. They may not see it, or they may choose to ignore you.I'm not able to message anyone that way unless they message me first.
I believe you can't PM until you've been a member for a week and or had a certain amount of postsI'm not able to unless they message me first.
Thanks hollydolly. I kind of thought that would probably be the situation.I believe you can't PM until you've been a member for a week and or had a certain amount of posts
you can't send a PM until you've been a member for a week or made a certain amount of posts..I think it's 30.. welcome to the forumI can’t send a private message to people first, how did you do yours?
Like @hollydolly posted, you can't untill you have been here for a while or made a certain number of posts.I can’t send a private message to people first, how did you do yours?
Since you are not a new member, I don't understand why you have to wait for someone to message you first This is the first I've heard of that restriction.I'm not able to unless they message me first.
That was solved back in May when I was still a new memberSince you are not a new member, I don't understand why you have to wait for someone to message you first This is the first I've heard of that restriction.
Ok...now I'm confused. How did you go from new member to senior member in a month? And if it was solved...why are you still unable to do it?That was solved back in May when I was still a new member
You are misunderstanding. I can now message as of May 2 when I was no longer considered to be a new member. And as far as senior goes I think it has to do with number of posts (1000 or more).Ok...now I'm confused. How did you go from new member to senior member in a month?

Oh okay, I apologize GF! I didn't notice that your OP and some of the replies were from a month ago.You are misunderstanding. I can now message as of May 2 when I was no longer considered to be a new member. And as far as senior goes I think it has to do with number of posts (1000 or more).
No problem. No need to apologize.Oh okay, I apologize GF! I didn't notice that your OP and some of the replies were from a month ago.
Yes..I understood it as soon as Gone Fishin replied to me that his question was posted (and resolved) last month.It was/is a new member (henderson) as of today, June 6, that added a new post to this older thread, to ask why they could not initiate a PM.
That's what brought this entire thread back up to the fore, making it appear that @GoneFishin who was the OP, was presently asking the question.
Does my explanation make this entire confusion more comprehensible, @OneEyedDiva ?
