Hi Wendy

When you say "to anyone" - can you try sending one to me please?  Have you been sending to people with few or no posts?

Kind regards, Arranroots  ;)

Being dealt with by PM - at least that bit is working!

Hi and welcome to Rootschat.

Your problem for PM's probably is because you just joined today and didn't have enough posts to send a PM at the time.    New members need to have at least 3 posts before they can start using the PM system. 

Cheers
KHP :D

Hi everyone
I am not a new member, but someone I was trying to send a message too is, did not notice this at the time.
The second PM I was trying to send would not "send" because of something I typed in the subject bar, not
had this problem before, changed the text I had written and it went through, strange  ???

Thanks to everyone for helping me with this problem.

Someone can receive one (but only one) PM even if they have never posted.  To receive any more, or to send PMs, they must have made two posts.

Sometimes person will be able to get one PM. Help pages says 3 posts are needed to use PM system but sometimes it willwork after 2 posts.

This question comes up so often, wouldn’t it be a good idea to send a welcoming message to new members that mentions, among other things, the 3-post requirement for sending PMs?

I tried to send a pm yesterday (both recipient & I have enough stars) & the system told me it didn't recognise the recipient's name-and vanished the text of the pm.  I tried again - & again the text vanished.
 I gave up -but I think the message got thru this evening when I tried.

In the past messages seemingly haven't appeared in the 'outbox' -so I've ended up sending them twice-duh.  The system seems straight-forward enough, but I wonder if it has quirks that users need to know?

It's a lovely idea, but the idea behind it is to prevent people registering to spam Rootschatters, so if we told them how to do it then it would defeat the purpose.
