Private message limit

[LexNC]

Hello-

I have 5 PM's, and my mailbox is full already. I thought the limit was higher.

This page shows 50 max, for the free account: http://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/payments.php

Why am I being told that 5 is the maximum?

Thanks,
Lex

were there any pictures in the pm's?.....or something else is a wrong.

Coach or NIW will hope in and give it a whirl!

Why all the PM's anyway?

You only have one post on the forum, are you afraid of asking things publicly

That is kinda interesting. Only one post, and it is to complain about not enough PM space.

Join as a life time member and get unlimited knowledge and PM space!! Cheaper then a pizza.

Interesting. Perhaps a limit imposed until member has a few more posts?

Yes it's a new member thing, try getting 5 posts and see if that helps.
Or as D2Cat said, buy the membership and all will be good.

Hello-

Thanks for all the replies and info. I didn't mean to sound like I was complaining!... I was just curious about why the 5 PM limit.

Sorry for not posting my question on the forum. It's just that I had a sort of particular question (about the transmission in a Grand L HST), so I asked a couple of members who have similar models, figuring they would have first-hand knowledge.

As was suggested, I will buy the membership, and fix this!

Thanks again,
Lex

It's in part spam protection. So a robot can't enroll as a member then start spamming folk via PM's. In part it's to encourage user participation. Many learn from one person.

That being said..... when a person has questions (that have not already been discussed 100 times) please ask on the board so others may learn from the replies be it today.... or 5 years from now when they wisely search first.

Nothing wrong with PMing folk you think might have inside knowledge, to bring it to their attention/encourage them to take a look at the thread.

Coachgeo-
Thanks for the info. Should I try to summarize the answers I received in my PM's, and post them in the forum? Maybe it would help someone else now, or later. The question was about using an HST for loader work, and also about the whine from an HST. I'm also not sure which forum is most appropriate...maybe Tractor Operating?
Also, I did search the forum, but couldn't find a good answer to my questions.

It would be a good point for discussion,i dont own a hst, but ran and maintained one for 6 years. I prefer discussions in the forums, pm's are for moderators to give users who are out of line spankings when needed. J/k,the mods and admin here are great!
