How can you private message someone?

I’m new here. How can you pm someone?

Click on their CC user name and then select 'Message" on their page (orange rectangle on the left).

You can’t PM someone until you have 15 posts.

^^^ They need to be 15 meaningful posts.

@happy1 I posted 15, but I can’t pm new members. Is that suposed to be the case?

Your profile says “Posts: 8”

Advanced Search with your handle shows the same.

@screenname720, I believe a moderator merged/deleted a few similar posts. The 15 posts have to be substantive and non-repetitive.

I’m new here, the replies count as a post?

Yeah, they count as a post but you need 15 posts before you can pm someone.
