Private Messages? Help!

[James Shand]

A few people have sent me private messages, but when I try to reply I get a thingy saying I can't and I'm worried people will think in rude if I don't respond! Help!

(Also sorry if you have messaged me and I didn't reply I swear it's not my fault)

Hello James,
I am having the same problem you had with private messages. How were you able to fix it?
thanks!

The initial post was from 2017 and James is no longer a registered user. Do be sure that you are looking at dates and active status of the other users when responding to someone specifically. We don't mind you necroing a thread, but it still needs to be relevant.

As far as your question goes, there is no "fix" for it. PM and other sections are all granted through permissions from your time being here and being active. Your question, and many others, is mentioned in the FAQ section and we highly advise to read that along with the rules. https://internationalyn.org/forum/index.php/topic,110.0.html

"Why can I not reply to a private message?

For security reasons, given our age groups here, we want a chance to get to know you first. We want to be sure you are here for the right reasons.  Therefore, if you are here only to chat or do the private message thing, best to move on as its not for you here.  We want active members and it takes a little time. However, if you are from another forum or organization and known to a staff member, we can change this immediately. Contact us."
