Can’t send messages
Hi all,
been on the forums for about a year. I used to be able to send messages but now get a notice saying I do not have permission to use this function. Can anyone help me out?

Your account shows normal permissions to include PM access.
Please provide the details as to who you were trying to send a PM to as well as on what device (mobile, desktop) and theme (mobile theme, desktop theme or mobile app).

That's normal as you currently don't have PM access being a new member. To help protect the community against spam and other unsolicited PMs, members must be "established" in order to have access to the PM system. Bob, the lead Administrator, might disclose what the entails but I generally state that those who use the site for its intended purpose, as an enthusiast of the cars, will become "established" in very short order and thus will have access to the PM system.
So my suggestion would be to continue to use the site by participating and either help others, or ask questions you need assistance with, and you will find PM access very shortly.

you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
- Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
- If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.
Suggestions?

As with the case for anyone who does not have PM access, my advice would be to continue to use the site by participating and either help others, or ask questions you need assistance with, and you will find PM access very shortly. The PM restrictions were put in place to protect the community from spam, which was occurring in large volumes, from old and new accounts that was created for the sole purpose of spamming.

PM access is automatically given by the system when the account meets the criteria - which I refer to as an "established" member. We can't disclose exactly what an established member consists of as it can work against the system that's in place to protect the community.
As noted above, my advice would be to continue to use the site to help others and ask questions you need assistance with. Using the site for its intended purpose will result in PM access in a timely manner.

I left a "visitor message", but that felt a bit wrong cause it was meant as a private message.

This means that new accounts, such as yours, and accounts that aren't active don't have PM access until they've become "established" members.

Normally, my advice would be to continue to use the site to help others and ask questions you need assistance with. Using the site for its intended purpose will result in PM access in a timely manner. That said, your account does now show PM access.
