Ok understand what you are saying but this is how to use rootschat.  Is that also one that doesn't count towards a total post count?

shows Zero posts simply because they don't count on this Section.

I believe the rules changed a little while ago, so posts on this board are no longer counted.

Jessika, your post count is still 0, and you will need to join in on an existing thread.  Or you could start one of your own; most people do that on the Beginners board until they find their way around.

Just say if you need any help with that, and in the meantime, welcome to RootsChat :)

The little green scroll under Jessika's name has lit up and she CAN send personal massages though.

I'm not sure she'd want to do that :o

I've just sent her a 'test' massage.  Let's see what happens ................................

Hi all,
Thanks for all your help. Little bit confused on how to use this site. Just came across some info relevant to me today on a very old thread and was trying to directly message that certain person when I came across this thread. Still seems I am unable to send messages however. Carol, I can see your message... but can't seem to reply. Might have a bit more of a play to see if I can get the hang of things.  :)

Easiest way to make contact is to reply on the thread you found.

IF they are still interested, and monitoring posts, they will respond.

If not, then your message may be of interest to other members.

The 3 post rule, for Personal Messages, is to discourage spammers?
Otherwise we'd all be flooded with offers of Nike, Raybans, etc. ;D ;D ;D
