is there any reason
why a member cant pm

a newbie not been able to pm
a member i get that but not
the other way round or is it
just me been thick
 
I can't help; but if you were to PM them, then they wouldn't be able to reply.

I would guess the reason newbies can't PM is to eliminate spam; if you have to post say 10 posts before you can spam, I'd imagine a lot of spammers would get bored or think it's not worth the effort.
 
If I remember correctly, anyone who has been "convicted of spamming" can't PM either.

Also some members can chose to disable PM if they do not wish to receive them.

(I think!)

PM me with the member's name, as stated this is a precautionary measure for spammers. I can switch individual member's permissions in cases such as this.

hi Shelagh could it not be made so that we could
pm them but they could not pm
any one till they reach the
required posts
 
The way the software that runs this forum is designed it offers the option of either pm access or no pm access. It does not allow splitting it up in that manner. As stated, drop me a pm with the member's name & I can switch it.
