Sig Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 I have been trying to get a hold of someone through this site but when I click their name to send and email i get an error msg that says "[#10314] Sorry, you are not permitted to send an email via this board." Is this something wrong with my account or something I need to get "permission" for? Thnx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CptGemini Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 My best guess is that you need a certain number of posts before you are allowed to do that, just like with needing a certain number of posts before a poll can be made.

Kyp [LDEV] Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 You're trying to e-mail someone through the board or you're trying to PM someone? Probably using the e-mail buttons, I think they may all be disabled aside from administrators. Just use the forum PM functions. Go to someone's profile page and there should be a link that says "Send me a message" under their picture in the upper left side. This will enable you to privately message someone on the staff. Members can also opt to disable the e-mail function to everyone else except administrators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sig Posted November 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Im trying to email someone through the board because i dont have it myself. He hasnt been on in a long time. i went to his profile page and tried to use the "Click here to email me" link. thats when i get that msg. Id use the forum PM fctn but that only works if he logs on correct? I want to be able to reach out to his actual email since he hasn't/cannot log in here. Make sense?

As long as their notifications are set they will recieve your PM in their email too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the e-mail function like I said before each user can choose to disable it. I'd need to know the user name and I could have a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C Del[IS] Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 My bad, I made a boo-boo when I set up the permissions for the Members user group. You should be able to e-mail now. "New Members" (5 or less posts) will still not have this permission, as an anti-spam measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
