Private Messaging?

[alanmz]

I've had my account for around a month

[alanmz]

I've been around the forum for more that a year but never thought on creating an account as I was using it for research and DIY

[alanmz]

This is my 6th post. Still disabled

[alanmz]

Would it be reaching the posts count and then wait the 7 days? or 7 days account creation and posts count reached at any time later?

[alanmz]

I guess I'll figure out. 8th

[alanmz]

Seriously, I'm sorry for the spam. I hope to be able to provide a more detailed solution.

[alanmz]

This is 10th

[alanmz]

My statistics says Total Posts: 1, but on the search throws the 10 posts I've made so far. I'll check back in 7 days.

I'm a member of another vehicle forum, and their rules are that new users can't even see that there is a forum classified section until they have made 50 posts and checked in at least once per week for 90 days.....

I've been using the site for more than a year, ever since I owned my car, apr 2023. I don't have enough experience with BMW to provide useful insights in here, more than others that I have found very useful.

If you don't like new users asking for help or anything, go ahead and start your own forum, and ask for peoples ID's, birth certificates, credentials and shop adressses if you want.

If you just want to bully people for something you don't like. I don't think this is the place.

Obviously you don't know how to read.

If I was a software pirate or a scammer I wouldn't be using my name on my profile. I would use something like... I don't know... vreihen16???

You need to post in the general automotive BMW or non-BMW talk photos/videos for your post count to add up. Posting in the off topic section of the forum, and/or on here does not make your post count go up.

If you`re not a spammer/bot make a new topic/thread in the general automotive BMW or non-BMW section of the forum so you can respond in that thread. Your post count will go up and then after a certain amount of posts you will have your PM privileges activated.

[alanmz]

I see. I'm gonna give it a try. I appreciate your response. Thanks!

Also, what banner is people talking about?

[lightkira]

Having the same issue. How many messages do we need to send?

[Nevin57]

It's an old post, but I'm just wandering I was told it is just a matter of waiting 7 days but I am passed the 7 day mark does anyone know if it is a post and time thing or just a time thing?

[vioilio]

Is there any resolution to this.? I have not been using this forum recently and now I can't send PM's.

[OLDFARTRACING]

I thought i did the right thing by searching for the answer to my question. I read through this entire string and then made the connection... i dont need to PM anybody. Why worry about post count?

I will continue to use the forum as I always have... to hear opinions and get ideas for things i would like to do to my car.

In my three current posts, Ive shared one DIY that i did on my previous M2 in case it would help some other "reader" like me.
Full disclosure, i also was compelled to post and share because my previous account (that I never made one post from) was locked, I was booted for some reason and never allowed to return.
Amazing to me ....after reading a plethora of rude, aggressive know-it-alls with a chip on their shoulder
So theres that. I'm 100% human and don't sell anything.
If i get booted again for sharing this, i obviously don't belong here.
