Pasted from the FAQ:

I can't send a PM (Private Message)
As a new guest on the forums, you will have a short time probation period with limited use of the system's features. Personal messages (PMs) are disabled for two weeks to discourage spammers. If you sign up as a member, there is no time restriction.

Signed up as a member meaning you pay $20 a year? or just a regular sign in for free?

Three year old thread but nothing has changed. PMs are restricted to Members for a couple of weeks. Users like you who don't contribute get that privilege later.

Premium Memberships (paid) have instant access to the PM feature in addition to other benefits. For Non-Premium memberships, you must have an account that is 2 weeks old before PM access will be automatically given.

My account is greater than 2 weeks old, but I still can't seem to send a PM. I'm trying to buy from a vendor/member to support his business, but he will only accept orders through PM.

Your account shows access.

The PM permissions are only given to active accounts. If the account is eligible for PM permissions but hasn't been used, then the update to the account giving PM permissions is deferred until the account has become active. This appears to be the case here.

Thanks for the response. I was wondering what had occurred. Glad it’s up and running now!
