Title: pm limit ??
Post by: HICKELMEYER on Wednesday 25 August 10 03:52 BST (UK)
Help! I have been trying in vain to send a pm to another member, and "computer says no"  as it has reached the pm limit. ????? I have deleted all of my pm's, so is it the other person?

Hi

Could it be because the other person hasn't made enough posts? I think they have to have made 3 posts.

Hi Hickelmeyer,

If the person you want to contact is Jenkins99, it appears they haven't logged on for a year and they claim not to use the internet much.


Since my initial burst of enthusiasm 9 years ago, I only occasionally check to see what new information has
emerged on the internet so I was most pleased to come across your entry while it was still fresh.


I'm surprised they didn't receive an email to notify them you'd made a reply on the thread, unless of course they haven't been online at all.

Fingers crossed for you !  :)

Pels.

Hickelmeyer,

If that person hasn't made 3 posts then NO ONE can contact them  ;)

I suggest that you post on the relevant thread  that you'd like to make contact. Do you know how many posts they've made,and when was the last time they were online? If it has been sometime,they may not be checking Rootschat anymore.

Let's hope they haven't changed their email address then at least they'd be notified of a new message on the old thread.

Good luck

Carol

Snap Pels  ;) oh well he'll be lucky if Jenkins comes back then- blow  >:(

Hi all,
it look like Jenkins99 has only made one post back in Sept 09,
Billy.

Hopefully it may not be them ... but it certainly looks a possibility !  :(

They could also be away on holiday at this time of the year  :-\

Or they could have changed their email address and not received notifications.

This really is a case of fingers crossed hoping they will respond some time soon.

I think they can - the other day I contacted someone who had only made 2 posts - and they replied by PM before they had made their 3rd.

Sometimes it works after 2 posts,but to be on the safe side Rootschat does advise that you need to make 3 posts before you can send or receive PM's.

I was making the point to Billy Anderson that it was no good him sending a PM as it was the recipient who had only posted once  ;)

Carol said that she was sending a pm, but the same would have applied there as here, jenkins99 wouldn't have received it as they have only made 1 post.

Fingers tightly crossed for you.
