Can someone explain why I can not read my private messages here? I've got 2 of them but just keep getting "Not authorized" message when try to open being logged in.

You need to have a minimal amount of posts in the forum before you can use the PM function.

This is to prevent spammers from Private Messaging everyone.

I see, thanks. However I must say this is quite odd way of protection - let people receive private messages and do not let them read. Why not give a R/O instead? Or simply do not let PMs to be sent to such "unauthorized" person at all.

What is a minimal amount of posts? You mean we should should just post garbage instead of only replying when one has a responsible opinion?

Seems a bit vague to me.

reached the magic number of 5 posts and was able to read my messages, but not to reply with a PM. Is there another magic formula for this? Please help

I am not able to read or send PM as well. Trying for many days before discovering this post. At least now I know there is minimal post requirements.

Cool. Glad to know I'm not the only one with this problem. I hate posting fluff, really I do, but if that's the only way to do this... *fluff! fluff! fluff!*
