Why are you so desperate to PM?

No they don’t

Also having the same issue. Happy to post for the sake of posting but would like to PM people about their specific solutions.

I'm having the same issue, just bought an F48 and I'll be here a lot because there are so many experts, I'll wait patiently for my PMs to be enabled.

ASAP · 09-08-2025, 04:01 PM

Are there Pm issues? Folks say they can't reach me due to pm's being disabled.

Just post in the threads, it'll help others

It’s a hurdle for trying to PM with seller in Member Classified section.

jon_88 · 09-09-2025, 04:46 AM

So there's no info about enabling pm ?)

siomski · 09-09-2025, 04:50 AM

I have the same problem, I hope that my private messages will be unblocked soon.

siomski · 09-09-2025, 04:51 AM

Has anyone managed to unblock private messages?

I just tried to send you a test PM. No workie. I got this message:
Asap has chosen not to receive private messages or may not be allowed to receive private messages. Therefore you may not send your message to him/her.

ASAP should check his settings. Maybe PMs became disabled by accident.

i can pm someone but someone can't pm me... its kind of bizarre lol

KirbyM · 09-16-2025, 12:24 PM

seems like this encourages new users to post replies that are not relevant. I understand it's only about 10 messages. But still 10 messages from a lot of new users just to get their post count up? I guess maybe there's some other reason for this that I'm not seeing.

chowser51 · 09-16-2025, 05:54 PM

asap, system wouldn't let me send you a message.

everyone else they're weird about activating pm for new users because alot come here to scam or just demand free stuff. posts in this section don't count.
