Forum problems - unable to reply to PM

[Eonwind]

Hello! This tread is for Forum Administrators 

I cannot reply to Personal Messages sent to me, and I can't even send one myself!!
When I try to send a new message all I get is:

Code: [Select]

An Error Has Occurred!
You are not allowed to send personal messages.

I looked into my profile, account and settings but the problem persist. 
Please can some Administrator thake a look at this?
Many thanks!!

PS I opened the same thread by mistake here (http://www.hydlaaplaza.com/smf/index.php?topic=40459.0), it wasn't mean to cross post it was just a mistake, I apologise.

New forum members cannot send PMs until they reach a determined number of posts, if I remember correctly was minimum 10 messages. So right now you should be able to do it.

I confirm the problem is now solved, however I hadn't read such rule stated anywhere in the forum (but maybe it was my fault) even the help function wasn't helping... anyway I had some user sending me PM and it was a pity not being able to reply 
Thank you!

This rule is not to annoy our newbies, but to keep spambots sending images of .... bodyparts ... to everyone.

Yes, that happened and can never be unseen.
