Hi,

I am not able to send a private message. There is no button to send a private message under the Private Messages tab. Is the section in the maintainance phase? Appreciate any help.

Thanks & Regards,

YogeshP

In the private message page, there should be three tabs: "Inbox", "Outbox", and "Send New PM". However, I think there is a lower limit of post counts required to be able to send PMs (it's an anti-spam measure, i.e., people coming in, making fake accounts, and sending tons of spam through PMs). I think the limit is either 5 or 10 posts on threads.

The reason for the restriction is to keep bots from spamming people via PM. [edit]Sorry, Mike already said that.
