    account looks fine, still problems since you have posted a few times now? FYI someone can send you a PM that doesn't accept PM's, but that is rare.

    I've been going crazy trying to figure out how to private message people! Found this thread via a Google search, all makes sense now :) Time to make some posts.

    Found this thread in google too. It all makes sense. Unfortunately I need to PM for interest in a car and I feel bad making random posts.

    Well, seems I have the same problem as others. I've been lurking for a while (its amazing how much information you can get just by reading) but now I want to PM a member to get some quotes on parts in the for sale section, but alas no functionality.

    Hopefully a moderator will see this and turn it on for me.

    Here goes post # 1!

    Actually, I have a question about PM's - how come when I send one it doesn't end up in the 'sent' folder?
    I can't seem to find the option for that?

    because by default it doesn't save a copy, you can change that under User CP.

    Hey Rob/Moderators,

    We need instructions/clearer instructions on PMing. This is not the first time this has happened.

    It may take two or three posts before your system-designated probationary period is up.

    Find a few discussions you want to participate in, make a few more posts, and you should be able to PM just fine.

    Checking in--hello everyone. I tried to respond to one thread, and introduced myself in another thread in the 'new members' sub forum. Hoping I can meet and interact with folks here and learn more about the amazing cars and community.

    Correct me if I'm wrong...I believe Silver allows you to send e-mails through the Fchat platform...but any member can send PMs once they clear the initial "hurdle".

    Yes, there's just a delay, from the original sign up.

    Not a premium feature.
