Andie - the email option has been withdrawn as many people were being contacted with information that they didn't want to receive. A classic example was Amanda emailing posters trying to encourage them to visit her website.
PM option may well be added soon but email address are only available to the admin team for security reasons.
Hi Pete, and I am in full agreement with this - emails like that can be really bloody annoying.
I was just thinking that if you wanted to contact someone with info that they were asking for there is no way of doing it other than posting it on the forum. And then you run the risk of your post being deleted, and your hands smacked, for advertising
Please give my love to Angie and I hope you get your "adopted girl" home soon.
Pete,
Is there not a way whereby each individual could only send a maximum of say 5 PMs per day, this would prevent abuse by those who wanted to send multiple pms for their own business promotion but would allow for individuals to send them. I am not a programmer so dont know the technicalities, but expect it may be possible in time. And of course anyone who sent unwanted abusive pms could be warned and if neccesary expelled.
Good idea Don, you could perhaps limit pms to poster's who have made a certain amount of post's before they are allowed to send pms to other forum members.
