I tried that, the screen goes to the sign up and pay page.

"You need a paid subscription in order to initiate private conversations with other members
(and you also get other forum and chat benefits)."

You may not be able to write to admin privately if you have not paid for that privilege as a new user.

Correct. Private messaging is a paid feature, not a free one.

It SHOULD be a free feature, because what if someone, such as the OP, needs to message an admin but can't because they have to pay first? Not everyone is gonna want to be forced into paying for PM, solely to contact an admin.

That's where the directions say
"You need a paid subscription in order to initiate private conversations with other members

Several newbies here have sent myself and others, PM's without having had to donate any money. And other newbies can't, unless they donate first. So that's not really fair.

Same as before...
"You need a paid subscription in order to initiate private conversations with other members

Putting the @ before a user name (in that case, admin) is not initiating a private conversation but tagging them, which alerts them to the fact that you have mentioned them in a post. The person mentioned may or may not come to see why they have been mentioned. If we knew why you would like to get admin's attention, it might be more helpful :)

Technically I am FROM New Jersey via California. I just happen to live in Colorado (which unfortunately is becoming just as stupid liberal as the former two states). However I can that God that I am fortunate enough to not be from Alabamey. :whistle:

I sent you a PM. Theoretically since it originated from me you should be able to respond.

As far as I am aware, all new users have to subscribe in order to be able to send PM's. Unfortunately over the years this site has never been able to support itself on the good graces of donors alone.

I did notify RoboOp about the situation since I'm relatively sure he didn't intend for the PM block to include conversations with site staff.

Back when Becc and Gracie14 first joined, they were both able to PM me without donating first. Then VincentG joined and tried PM'ing people, but he couldn't until he donated. And that Nigerian scammer dude who kept PM'ing the ladies here--he was a newbie too but was able to still PM.

Becc and Gracie both joined before the platform change. Vincent joined after.

You were grandfathered in and/or donate. New accounts who don't pay each month don't have the ability to PM, either in forums or chats.
