That's what I needed to know. I will fix that problem right away.

To all who experience trouble accessing PMs:

I am working on this problem. This will be fixed today. I cannot yet give you any time frame so just be patient.

Usergroups have been modified to the effect of the following:

All members who have 25 posts or more will be automatically moved into the new usergroup the next time that they post. This new usergroup has the ability to not be moderated (however the Moderators will still watch what you post so be sure to follow the rules) and the usergroup will be able to send PMs, etc without trouble. All members who have less than 25 posts will be restricted. Posts will be moderated as well as picture comments, visitor messages, and some other things that have slipped my mind right now (it's been a long night). Also, those members that have less than 25 posts will not have access to PMs in any way. So everybody get to posting a lot...lol!

Sounds good to me!

These changes will help slow down the spam artists. Good stuff, admins.

If the spam PM problem is solved, will we be able to send private messages regardless of how many posts we write?

Glad to see that the spam problem is being addressed. Appreciate that this hasn't been the easiest of tasks either. Please note I may well have to edit this post after posting for as was done in a hurry.

No, sorry. Restricting the ability to send PMs is (part of) the solution. But all you've got to do is post a few messages on the forum.

Now that we are on the radar of the spammers, they will return again and again to try to spam. If we lift the restrictions, we will have the same problem again in notime.
