I'm a new user, and I apparently can't use the PM feature. I couldn't find anything in the help section that seemed to "help"... and couldn't find a FAQ.

Ummm help?

Hello and Welcome! The problem is that the PM system requires the member to post a certain number of posts(I think its 50 posts) before you can start sending and receiving PMs.

As we have many business' who join just for the sake of PMing members and selling as well as spamming accounts we have made an effort to reduce this. Such being that the private messaging system and posting to the buy and sell section is locked until a member has contributed as an actual forum participant. As of lately we have reduced the number to 5 posts from the former 20 to allow more lee way to new members.
enjoy and welcome.

Thanks for the info!

Maybe I should have typed each word in a seperate post!

Well you are up to scratch now.
Besides we monitor new accounts and delete them if they do try the quick post thing to bypass the filters.
Enjoy.

Just thought I'd bring this to the top for people like me.... and to bring myself a step closer to PMing.

Soooooo, how's the weather in New Jersey?
