When you have been here the requisite time and have the required number of posts, it will fix itself.

Thanks, JDiver - so the person is sending me messages and there is nothing I can do in order to be able to reply to him?

Unfortunately, not within the 24 hour PM time limit.

But if the member allows emails, you could reply that way.

It's an inconvenience- but as indicated in the Wikipost at the top of the page, this limit was imposed because we have had a few bad actors join and use the PM function to spam members.

You'll not have long to wait before your PM cap goes away.

Post more. The clue is in the last sentence.

Ok, I see it now.
I also sent a request to Administrator(?) via CONTACT US.
I hope they can override it in my case, as I am trying to find an itinerary to book today and I received a few PMs with suggestions yet I cannot even reply.
That member unfort does not accept emails...

How much more?
Thats is totally counter-intuitive - the restriction is meant to prevent spam yet encourages me to post more (irrelevant) stuff?

How many more posts do I need?
I found a member who is helping me find a (last-min) MR for next week - and I cannot even reply. I am already in trouble bc I need to have the MR next week, otherwise I will lose my status...I cannot wait to book until tomorrow!

Looking at this

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/techn...hrs-limit.html

It seems the amount of posting needed is not publicised. If you need to contact someone about this I suggest one of the mods on the technical support board http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/techn...-feedback-386/

Become a contributing member by posting in the public forums and eventually that cap will be taken off. Check the wiki at the top of this forum.

Is there some reason those that are offering itinerary help can't post it in the public forum? That would seem to solve all your problems. Is there something secret like a fuel dump that they don't want to post publicly? You could ask him in the public thread to turn that feature (e-mail) on.

I would not expect the Community Director to override this feature just for you.

Admin is unlikely to release you or anyone from this restriction.

While it has created a significant inconvenience to you, we have had some serious issues in the past from new members who created accounts to spam or scam members. While it may seem a bit unfriendly and rigid of FlyerTalk to have this policy, I can assure you there's excellent reason for this one (as well as sending new members' posts to a moderation queue before members can see them if they contain certain key words, web or image links).

How about adding a post telling members in the thread you're participating they can email you? (And if this information that would be better shared with the community, requesting it be shared privately essentially goes against the purpose and spirit of FlyerTalk - where it's about sharing).

Welcome to Flyertalk. You can remove the limit by making quality contributions (posts) to the site.

As long as you're getting incoming messages, it doesn't seem like such a big burden to have to wait a little to reply.

How do you become an established member? I cannot send private messages.

Hi there. Sounds like you may have sent the maximum amount PMs for new members. After doing so, you'll have a cool off period for about a day. However, just keep posting and your PM limits will lift. Hope that helps!

Thank you

Daily restriction on pm (to merge)
 

Hi. May I know what is the daily restrictions on pm, please?
