Question private messages

Just trying to figure out the whole pm thing. Do you have to have a certain amount of posts before it works? I received a message that I have one, but I get an error everytime I try.

Nope. You should be able to send and receive PM's no matter how many posts you have. Click on "User CP" at the top and you can get to your PM's in the Control Panel on the left hand side. Or, you can click on the "private messages" link below your user name.

I think the magic number of posts is 35.

It is to prevent people from coming to FTE just to take advantage of its vast membership to conduct business through the FTE messaging system

Hmmm...I coulda swore someone sent me a PM with only 12 posts before. Maybe it was on another forum? I'm a member of so many, it's easy to lose track...

I hit up the administrator and was told that you need atleast 25 posts before you will be allowed to send or receive PM's. Mine was working for quite a long time (with a lot less) but just disappeared. I had about 7 messages in there. I won't know if they held in memory or not until I get enough posts.

FWIW - I was told it because of Spamming.

You want to jack up your post count? Get involved in the crazy airplane on a treadmill thread. You'll be a senior user in no time....

Just don't get too angry at the non-believers - you will never change their minds. They can't help it.

That thread ran it's course on another forum till I mentioned that a plane needs airspeed to fly and not groundspeed, it slowly died. I do know about a very legit way of raising a post count in a hurry without being called a post hoe, welcome all new members and they will love it and post count will grow like a weed on viagra
It will come someday

Post Padding on FTE is frowned upon though.

My suggestion: do it legitimately with quality posts
