Technical Support and Feedback - Maximum numberof messages per day

Yesterday I sent a couple of messages and at some point I got this message:

"You have exceeded the maximum number of private messages per day. This limit is removed after you become an established community member. Please contact an administrator if you feel this is in error."

But today I haven't sent out any messages yet and I still have the same problem :(
Somebody sent me a valuable hint in exchange for another one and now I can't reply :confused:
This makes me look like I was just stealing someones information without giving anything in exchange. Is there any way I can still send that person a message?

Thanks in advance

First, welcome to FT!

Second, it may be a 24 hour clock... or you may just be hitting time zone differences... give it a few hours, and try again.
