How can i PM someone?

Author

Sorry to revive this old thread, I was just wondering if it would be possible for one of the moderators to remove the restrictions on my new account so that I can PM someone? I wanted to request a link but can’t PM anyone for a week, and I can’t figure out how to contact the moderators directly as I can’t start a topic myself. Thanks!

Can you not send a PM right now? I didn’t think there were any restrictions on that. Maybe a part of some new site features?

Maybe wait that week - and meanwhile take the time to look around and see how the site functions, the site and fan project rules, read through any of the info and discussion threads across the boards that may be interest you - and join in the conversations on here.

Leave some feedback or reviews for projects you have previously seen. Or chat about the OT, the wider GFFA, or film, tv, music, gaming, tech, or life in general etc. Or look at how some of the fan projects on here are made / come together.

Simply become a participating member of the community on here. Good luck with it - and welcome to the OT. 👍
 

A little patience goes a long way on this old-school Rebel base. If you are having issues finding what you are looking for, these will be of some help…

Welcome to the OriginalTrilogy.com | Introduce yourself in here | Useful info within : About : Help : Site Rules : Fan Project Rules : Announcements
How do I do this?’ on the OriginalTrilogy.com - includes info on how to ask for a fan project and how to search for projects and threads on OT•com.

A Project Index for Star Wars Preservations (Harmy’s Despecialized & 4K77/80/83 etc) : A Project Index for Star Wars Fan Edits (adywan & Hal 9000 etc)

Take your time to look around this site before posting… Do NOT just lazily make yet another ‘link request’ post - or a new thread asking for projects.

Hi oojason. No, I can’t PM anyone, it tells me that I’m restricted for 7 days. But if I have to wait then I have to wait. I came here for kreep’s regrade of T2 specifically but the whole community here seems great, I plan to stick around and get involved. Glad I found the place! Thanks!

New members have restricted permissions, partly to combat spam/bots…but other reasons also.

Do you know how long until the new member status gets removed? I sent someone a message and I went back to check it today and it just says “forbidden”. Once I lose the new member status I should be able to see any responses, right?

You’ll have full permissions 7 days after signing up.

Hello i cant access my DM, it says FORBIDDEN.

Also I can’t DM anyone it says To help prevent spam, new members aren’t allowed to start private topics for the first 7 days after signing up.

But my account has been created 1 month ago and I had DMs with a few people.

I resetted my password I think it created a bug in your system and it thinks my account is new.

Please help, thanks

You’re in the Members group, so you should have PM access. Try logging out and back in again.

I think I’ve identified a bug that might’ve caused this, so I’ll look into it. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
