I sign in and then click on the member name I want to contact. Next I click on "Click Here to email me" But when I do that I get
[#10314] Sorry, you are not permitted to send an email via this board.

What am I doing wrong?

It's possible that the other member has their settings set so that other members cannot contact them. For instance, mine are set you people CAN contact me via PM, so see if that works. LiveBrianD

I can't seem to do it. A small window pops up telling me that I'm not allowed to send PMs.

I wonder if this is a limitation they placed for new members to prevent spam. For instance, that's why they are limited to 10 posts/day. I'm not sure when the limit is alleviated. I just sent you guys a PM (you can add multiple recipients to one), so try to respond to that and see what happens.

I believe that new members cannot PM until they achieve a certain number of posts.

I do know that you can set it so that people CANNOT email you...that is how I have my settings...they can PM me, but they cannot email me.
