Hi
I am trying to send someone a PM but get back a message C'ant send reached max PM limit.What does this mean?

Hi Gerry,

If you are sending PMs to new members who have less than three posts you will receive an error message, that your limit, or allowed number has been reached. (note that it says your limit, although it actually refers to the recipient.)

You'll find that here :

Kind regards,

Pels.

Hi Pels
Thanks for that.I am trying to contact a new member who unfortunately has'nt replied to the first message I sent and I tried to send a second pm.I guess I will just have to wait to see if they reply or post on the site.
Regards Gerry

Hi again Gerry,

Just a thought, but if they've already replied once on a thread - would it be worth your while to try and contact them via that same thread - they might receive an email notification enabling them to see that you are trying to make contact.

Best wishes,

Pels.

Please Berlin Bob How do I start a topic?  How can I reply to a post made in 2005 which came up without any 'live' RootsChat page  I have the topic name:  Re: LAURENCE family in Clapham in 1861 Census but how can I get on that page so the sender (Keith Sherwood) might know about it, or be told about it.

Thanks JenB    and thanks  aghadowey --

It is really good to read all these new people who like me  find the site so hard to suss out at first! 
If it's made complicated in order to put spam-pushers and blasphemers into despair I suppose that must be a good thing.   Aghadowey - you've 'split' the Laurence family topic but I can't find the split
JenB seems to have replied to me . .  but at the top of my page it says I have 0 messages

That means Personal Messages.

to JenB -Thank you so much for making those details clear!  I have actually sent a PM (I think) to Richard Sherwood (full of typos which I didn't notice till I'd clicked send)  One has to learn the language of the site I realise.
