Ok so I read how to PM and there is nothing in my user CP area to do so. Can someone point me in the right direction please.

 

Unless it's been changed, you need 100 posts and be a member for 90 days in order to have PM privileges.

 

It has been changed. I have asked for verification of the current requirements before I post them.

 

what needs to be verified?

 

I have asked the administrators to verify if the current reqirements are what I think they are. I think you have to have been a member for 30 days and have a post count of at least 10, but I may be wrong. Hopefully I will get the info soon.

 

The minimum qualifications to use PM.
It used to be 90 days/100 posts but, it was reduced.

You have been a member 10 days/18 posts.

The minimums were to protect members from getting PMs from spammers.
Spammers hit and run.
They don't want to invest effort in making 50-100 posts or wait around three months or so, just to spam.

 

Ok, the current requirements are a post count of 10 and a member for 20 days. So I was close, but wrong. Miamiheat, you just need to be a member for a few more days and then you should be able to use the PMs.

 

Cool. Just making sure I wasnt going blind and didnt see it.
