contacting a poster
« on: Tuesday 27 February 18 20:03 GMT (UK) »
hello

Ive come across rootschat as a search engine threw up a topic where a poster (Aus) was enquiring about her family in scotland. There was enough info for me to realise she is a relation of my wife's (the family was Kerr btw) and Im really keen to make contact.

The PM system isnt at all obvious on here - Ive registered (obviously!) however the message section says I cant send/use PMs etc etc. Ive clicked on the posters name but nothing says anything like 'contact poster' etc

Its probably been asked a thousand times...but any tips please?

thanks

One must make 3 posts here to message anyone!

So, if you reply to this saying  "thank you"

then making another "Thanks again"

you're good to go! It's just a security measure!!
