    It seems that you don't yet have private messaging turned on. The way you send some one a message is click on their name and it should be an option in the list that pops up.
    When I click your name it list the option to send you an email rather than a personal message.

    1999 BMW e36 328is with rotary valve engine head
    1999 Oldsmobile Eighty Eight
    1990 Jeep Comanche Eliminator
    1962 Austin Healey Sprite

    You have to have a certain number of posts & be a member for a number of days in order for private messages to be activated.

    You need 10 posts AND 7 days since registering. So I'm guessing you just have to wait a little longer.

    Ok, seven more posts before I can PM too. I guess this is an anti spam type of thing? makes sense but also encourages a bit of post whoring (ie this useless post).

    I understand the 10 post rule, but the 7-day rule seems odd.

    Perhaps the bots will give up after a certain amount of time. I just wish it was either or. Now have I have to make useless posts like this one.

    Ditto. I want to contact a member to inquire about something for sale, but can not send them an email. Just registered yesterday.

    Seems kinda lame, because it will enable people like me to just post on something to get post count!

    I totally agree. I have to post to a number of useless threads before actual being able to PM someone. Those are the brakes.

    I need to PM about parts as well. But I have to wait 9 more days I guess.

    I guess I'm in the same predicament - but only concerning the post count. Oh well, nine to go!
