Can not privately message other members

[RobTheBub]

Apologies if this information is available somewhere, I couldn’t find it. I just joined the forum and I can not privately message other members. Is there something I need to do to unlock that capability?

There is a requirement of at least 3 posts i think before you can PM. @TUGBrian can answer this for sure.

You have to make a few public posts before the 'Newbie' designation changes to 'guest' & you can click on the blue username to PM another person.

This rule is to keep unknown users from blasting unwelcome spam or whatnot.

 

[TUGBrian]

this is correct. the feature is disabled for new registered non members who have not made at least 3 or 4 posts.

Thanks for the clarification both! I better start posting then!

So has that been unlocked for you yet?

To the OP, when you are free, please read TUG’s “ Help & Advice“ section, to give you more information about buying a timeshare and other related timeshare information.

Thank you for this post, as I am facing the same issue as a new user. I read through all the help and FAQ's and didn't see anything about this.

Looks like you are good now, no longer relegated to newbie status...

Just curious Robthebub and Kcheyne, why do you want to immediately start DMing users on the Forum?
