Does it mean 7 days to the exact minute? Lol. I know that sounds weird but, this is my 7th day and was hoping to answer a PM.

 
Baffling that so many seem to ignore this…

You also might consider signing up just to PM project owners and ask for links isn’t in the spirit of the community.

 
and that…

So few have chosen to take that time to look around and see how this community forum functions, our site rules & fan project rules, read through any of the pinned ‘Index & Help’ & ‘How Do I Do This?’ threads, as well as any of the fan project threads that may be interest you - and actually join in the conversations on here.

Leaving some feedback or reviews for projects you have previously seen. Or join in the discussions about the Original Trilogy - or the wider Galaxy Far Far Away. Or participate in the discourse here on film, tv, music, art, books & comics, gaming, tech, history, sports… or life in general etc. Read up on how some of the many fan projects on here are made / evolve / come together - or check out the talented artists’ cover artwork, and budding authors’ stories, script-writing, and re-writes.

Simply becoming an active and participating member of the community on here means a significantly better chance of others helping you out in acquiring any fan projects you may be looking for…

❕ I have found a Fan Edit / Preservation I am interested in - but I don’t know how to get / acquire / download it? ❕

The issue isn’t about being ignored or not receiving a PM. The problem lies with the fundamental functionality of the site. Despite meeting the 7-day minimum requirement, I currently have private messages that I’m unable to access. To clarify, I’m not referring to the ability to send PMs—I can’t even view them. None of the FAQs you linked address this particular issue, so it appears to be a technical problem.

I understand these restrictions are an inconvenience, but they’re in place for valid reasons—mostly spam prevention.

The restrictions are all sensible and justified (and welcome in the case of spam prevention) but I’m currently looking at my 9-day old account that still cannot access the PM that was sent to me last week (clicking on it brings me to a “FORBIDDEN” screen). Is there something else that needs to be checked off before that can happen? Clearly the 7-day unlock isn’t working correctly. I log-in manually daily so logout/login also doesn’t solve it. On my profile it still says I’m in the “new members” group so I guess users don’t currently migrate out of that group after 7 days automatically?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

You’ve been upgraded to full membership. I’ll take a look into this bug.

I’m currently in the same exact situation.

So even the Private Topics started with me are intentionally forbidden? I have two unread topics started with me that I cannot access
