Hi,  Welcome to RootsChat.  :)

It is not really so strange.  There are some people who only join to post spam or other unsuitable material.  To allow such people immediate access to the personal message system was deemed unwise, so this system was introduced. 

Every new member is welcome and many stay with us a long time.  We hope you do too.

Have just finished reading the 24 pages on this subject and would like to thank all the contributors who have helped the newcomers like myself.

If I've got it right it seems I have to post not less than 3 subjects - or post not less than 3 replies to this (or other ?) subject/s, before others can send PMs to me or I can send PMs to them.

Is this correct ?

Any and all responses/assistance would, as always, be sincerely appreciated.

My thanks, in advance.

That is correct.  Posts on any topic will suffice. You should now be able to use the system.
Welcome, and enjoy your time here.

Sillgen : Hello & many thanks for your prompt response.

I'd also like to thank some of the other "moderators" whose  posts have been particularly helpful for me and, I'm sure, for other beginners.

Do I list their names in a post to this board, or do I address them individually on this board, or do I send a PM (when able) to each person ?

Hope you still have time to assist.

Many thanks & kind regards from

Make one more posting (you have two so far) ... just say hello, or something ! ... and then after that, you'll see a little 'reply' button at the bottom of the postings.   Click that, and away you go !    That works on any thread on any subject.

If you want to send a PM (personal message) then once you have your three postings, you'll see a little green scroll under the persons avatar on the left; click that and you can then send a private message to that person.

Good luck ... and do ask if you have any more problems.   You'll see many of us have managed to post 4000 or more messages, so it does work !

Hello, :) :)

I've sent a message to amielou86 with a link to your reply on here. Hopefully she'll now contact you. I can see the green scroll on your profile which Lydart mentioned, so hopefully your message system will already be activated.

Kind regards,

Pels.
