Private Messages?

Just registered yesterday. Great forum. How do I go about sending a private message to another member? When I click on the link I get a message that says I'm no authorized. I know I completed my registration. Anybody help?

With a new registrant, you need to get a certain post count before the forum allows you to send PM's. I believe the post count is 10. After 10 you should be able to send a PM. The main reason for this is to prevent PM spam from bot controlled forum accounts. The other route around this is the Email the person OR post a Visitor Message on their account page.

As this as been brought up lately there is one OTHER notice one should know:

Supporters have instant access to the PM system (Private Messages) and to posting classified ads in the Market Place.

In other words on day one of sending in their $$ to FTE (IB)you can do PM'sI No waiting for the 10 days. INSTANT ACCESS
