Sorry to hijack this thread, but I'm trying to contact Poldweia.

I tried to send you a Personal Message but have now discovered that Rootschat rules state that a new Rootschatter has to make 3 postings before they can use the Personal Message system (it's a security thing!).

You should get notification of this message as you've already contributed to the thread. Can you please make 2 more posts to bring your total up to 3 and then send me a Personal Message just to let me know that you're 'up and running'.

It's to do with the Barsleys of Lincolnshire - you and I are the only Rootschat members with the name Barsley listed in their Surname Interests.

I'll keep my fingers crossed that I'll hear from you.

Hi Jill, I haven't been on this site in months as I was getting confused how to use it.  I will try posting this and then another one and try contacting you.

Right, here's my second message.  I'll now try that PM.

Help I'm not very good at the technical side re posting replies.  I tried to post a PM fairly long and when I submitted a message came up to say this could't be done.  I've since looked at the Rootchatter and he/she has only posted one message.  I should have looked before I began.  Is there any way that I can transfer the PM to the ordinary way to post.  If not I'll have to start again.  Also how can I ensure the message gets to the relevant person?

Sorry about this confusion but I started this rather late in life and don't have a great deal of expertise.

Hoping you can help.

Thanks

If you still have the PM on the screen** just highlight all the text, copy and then paste into a reply on post (remembering not to include personal details, email addresses, etc. which shouldn't be posted on message boards.

**if you can't see PM you typed try using backspace button (usually top left of your screen) to get to it.

Thanks for the reply.  I tried your suggestions and managed to copy the text but was unable to paste, not sure what I did wrong.  In the end I redid the message and put it on the ordinary posting.  At least I now relise that I can only do a PM if the recipient has made the correct number of postings.  Will be more careful in future!
