Solved Is it a MEMBER thing?

[Forz19]

I've been trying to upload signature picture for a long time, now i find out that only Members can do that. That's OK with me, i can wait . But it seems I can't send Private Messages and Visitor Messages as well. So is it also a Member thing?

 

[Pedroc1999]

Some people have desabled that, try sending me one... I am not very sure if it is or not

 

[Forz19]

try sending me one

I can't;

 

[Pedroc1999]

Then it must be!, i know i acn send messages to new members and maybe you cant send them back! ou need to get your post count to 100 and then you can do all that including adding the sig pic

 

[Forz19]

Ok, does that include the ability to add custom text beneath my Username, like you have,

 

[Pedroc1999]

Yes.. You maye be able to do it now. go into user cp and into edit user details, is it there?

 

[Forz19]

The options include,

Name
Biography
Location
Interests
Occupation
Country Flag
State/Region Flag
Xbox GamerTag

Except of Xbox GamerTag(I don't have an Xbox), State/Region Flag and Occupation(I still go to school) all have been filled out.

Ok Thanks ... another question, how add a contact as friend?

 

[Pedroc1999]

Go to their profile and on the right by their contacts there is an option to befriend that person. The person has to accept it doe

In User CP, under Settings & Options, click Edit Options.

There are settings in there under Messaging & Notification
for Private Messaging and Visitor Messaging.

Look there to see if you have access to these settings, and they are checked (enabled).

Ummmmm....Sorry, but there isn't. I can add to Contacts, though, as seen in this pic,

 

[Forz19]

Look there to see if you have access to these settings, and they are checked (enabled).

There are three options,

Receive Email from Administrators (Checked)
Enable Visitor Messaging (Checked)
Limit usage of Visitor Messages to Contacts and Moderators (Unchecked)

Other then that there is an option "Default Thread Subscription Mode" set to "Instant email notification".

If you don't see an option for Private Messaging, maybe it's a forum rule and you
haven't met the requirements for this yet.

I expect an Administrator will see this thread at some point, and give a definite answer.

Here is a pic showing what I see...

I guess I'll wait till i become a Member, see my options then, because what i see is,

 

[DocBrown]

I see you have only been a member for 2 days so it might be a number of days thing, before some options are available to you. I remember that a sig needed 15 posts & a number of days at one time. And sigs are limited to certain size restrictions.

 

[Forz19]

Hey guess what, now when i go to a user's public profile, i can leave Visitor Messages. Annnnd i can send Private Messages. Yay!!! Guess 'twas just a matter of how many posts i have. Thanks everyone!
