koty I got this message when I tried to respond to your PM so let's get your questions answered in this thread and then I'll just have the staff delete the thread once we've got you going.

kotyjdafan 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.

After you're logged in just go to whichever thread you want to post a reply in and select either the "Reply" icon at the bottom of the previous post or the larger blue icon that say "Reply to Thread".

That will bring up a "reply" box that looks like this one in a simpler format or your can go to "advanced" and you'll get all of the other options and smilies. After you've typed the message just select the "quick reply" or "submit reply"and it should post.

If that doesn't work tell me what you're getting and I'll try to help you figure it out.

Welcome to the board. :drinking61:

Something else just occurred to me koty. This may be a dumb question on my part but have have you registered? Once you have there should be no limit on your posting of getting PMs but you need a minimum of 25 posts I believe it is before you can start a new thread. Let me know of you're getting this or send me another PM and I'll answer you here.

I actually had to activate and then sign in when I first registered... (although, would you be able to post without registering?) It all sounds silly, but one has to eliminate the obvious when troubleshooting....

Example: if you get in your car, and it cranks but doesn't start, the first thing you should do is make sure there is gas in the tank (try adding a half gallon). Reason: the gauge may be broken. And yes, I've had this happen to me too....

You shouldn't be able to or at least you couldn't long ago. Guests could view but not post. I don't know whether that's changed or not. Good thinking on the activation. I hadn't thought about that but I'm puzzled that he was able to PM me if he wasn't registered and logged in.

Guess we'll have to wait until he returns to get it straightened out.
