Private Messaging issue? I had PM'ed another member about 3 or so days ago and the person finally got around to replying today. I open the PM and soon see that there are no "Reply" options or anything like that, so I can't send him a PM back. I log-out and log back in to see if that did anything and the PM link under my username that I used to see is completely gone now. Also when I go to my User CP to access my PM's it says "11 out of 0 PM's allowed", not sure what the deal is, my PM's have been working fine up until now 
Can someone please help me with this issue, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

I think they just changed the rules about post count and not being able to look at the classified sections and not being able to message if you have under 50 post or 6 months or less new to the site.

I'm having the same issue. Now I have no way of contacting the person I was looking to buy parts from. At least they could have given us a headsup so we could make other arrangements!

However, classifieds access has been restriced to established members for many years, and is an earned privilege. You should have no problem meeting the requirements to access our classifieds if your intent is to meaningfully contribute to the site with information sharing.

For Sale Forums - Posting Problems
Every registered user on LS1tech is now required to have a minimum of 50 posts, or a minimum of 6 months membership duration before they can gain the privilege of posting a NEW THREAD or REPLY in the Classifieds sections, or post FOR SALE ad (or REPLY with selling intent) in any section of the site. Post whoring (i.e. "cool, nice car, ..., sweet.....etc) to reach 50+ posts is not allowed. Post count will be reset to zero with or without any notification. If member is caught post whoring two times they will be banned.
Unfortunately, we've had to put this restriction on our site due to so many lurking scammers popping up and taking honest money. This restriction has helped to ring out a lot of the scammers looking to make a quick buck on our site. Posting for sale items in other forums to circumvent this rule is prohibited and the posts will be deleted.
After your 50th post, it takes a period of 24 hours to update your access to the classifieds forums. DO NOT make a post requesting instant access upon making your 50th post, the system is automated. The database updates certain records on a daily basis, it is not instantaneous. Any threads regarding this will be locked/ignored.
Please do not contact us asking to circumvent this 50 post rule. The system is automated and we do not make exceptions. We feel that the classifieds forums here are a privilege to contributing members, not a free service for new members.

PM problems Hey all,
My PM counter on the top right corner dissapeared, and when I access my PMs I only have 22 and it says total 22, 0 allowed. Cant send or receive at this point. Any insight?
thanks!
James

Im pretty sure they changed the rules so that you need either 6 months or 50 posts to view classifieds or send PM's. You should be pretty close to the 6 month mark though

Need help contacting member I recently purchased a part from the classified ads. How can I contact the seller with these new rules on private messages. Now neither him or I can contact each other. I'm sure I'm not the only one with this problem. My post count is 18 and 6 months won't be up till may 28

These new rules are BS. I don't have any posts or history on this site because I JUST BOUGHT an LS1 last week. Now I'm here daily looking for information, specs, and parts.
I had 20-something PMs that I can no longer see or respond to. I even have a positive iTrader rating - I'm not scamming anyone. This site is a great resource but these arbitrary restrictions are the wrong way to "fix" this issue.
Sorry I can't help you, OP. Scammers suck but it's too bad honest buyers like you and me have to pay.
