    Good Afternoon,

    I can see existing private messages but can not send them anymore. Did I break a rule I’m not aware of? I felt like I’ve been a really good contributor to the forum so just confused on what’s up?

    Thanks.

    Apparently you have been turned off on my end, I cannot send you a conversation or PM. I can follow you or I can ignore you. And that's it.

    You will have to ask the mods quietly yourself to see where the problem is.

    Edit, I discovered a potential workaround involving my own inbox and attempted to message you and the site expressly denies you as a valid target of anything. So whatever it is you're it.
     
    Midwest Trucker Thanks this.

    Yeah it’s really strange. There is no place to start a message and I was able to start 3 previously. That’s why I posted here hoping to find out if I did something that upset someone. I’m not sure how to contact mods any other way.

    Not sure what to check exactly. I hadn’t hanged any settings over the last week or so. Thanks for checking into it.

    go to your name, in the upper banner.

    click onto it.

    in the left pane, look for the menu

    go to...settings, click onto that.

    then contact details.

    click onto that...now look mid screen at....messaging preferences..

    make sure you check that off, to accept...

    then go to..."accept conversations from'"

    select, either members only, or people you follow only.....

    if you select members only, then no one else, like non-members can PM you


    tgen scroll down to "save"...done deal

    I checked the ability to start a conversation with you from a conventional member account and I don't see a problem. Have you done something to change your settings since you first posted this problem?
     
    MACK E-6 and x1Heavy Thank this.
