Title: Can't see personal messages...View Profiles?
Post by: RochValerie on Jan 02, 2005, 06:33 PM
When I sign in, the top right says "Hey,...." but doesn't show any personal messages.  I had my boyfriend send me one, but it doesn't show up (it is going directly to my e-mail address).  I also have my preferences set to pop up when a new message is sent to me & that didn't happen either.

Please help...is something set incorrectly?

Little help here please - I had all my messages and posts (apparently) taken down for a an over sized profile pic (I got a message from the head master moderator “rqfixit”) - my bad - live and learn ... but now it seems my email out is inoperable (PM) ... I get an error at the top of the page when I attempt to prepare - or start a outgoing (iceshanty.com email) ... I get the message shown below here ...

“An Error Has Occurred!”

“You’re not allowed to send personal messages”

Does anyone know how to correct this or contact the “Rqfixit” - and see if he can fix-it ... I can’t send (PM) messages out ... I can only post!

Thanks in advance for your help guys!

Tried clicking on the flashing envelope, and nothing happens.
