I haven't been to this website in months and yet they are still disabled. Any chance of getting this turned back on? I know why they were disabled but surely the threat of mutiny has passed.

It's not a simple fix, but an entire reworking of the pm thing to ward off spamming.
Robert will get to it when he gets to it.

Simply adding a CAPTCHA would be enough.

Yes, tautologies are true. Thanks for your unhelpful response.

@Night Ripper,

If you haven't been to this website in months then why would you need the PMs since you aren't using the website?

I'm using it now. Duh.

@Night Ripper,

are you expecting sympathy?

Robert will re work matters on the site, as usual, when he has time.

@Night Ripper,

So, tell us. You expect to go to a free site and have an array of possible choices?
PMs at command?

I want a time frame not some banality. If you don't know then you can't help me and should probably just go away instead of wasting our time. Thanks.

I mean "our" as in you and I. You're wasting time for us both. I'm sure you have something better to do. So, go do it and stop posting drivel.

No, slump, you are the one without a clue.

Robert is a good site designer. If you had any brains, you'd know that.

I'll disengage, this is all silly.

I never said otherwise and frankly I don't care about his skills. All I asked was WHEN it would happen. Bye.

Tell me all about how you get to ask this?

@Night Ripper,

Since you are using it now, you won't mind clicking on these links to find the answers you are looking for. How did I find them? I went to Robert's profile and looked to see what his last posts about PMs had to say. Give that a try next time if you don't want to have any time wasted.

Here are the informative posts by Robert written a little over a month ago:

You obviously don't know Osso, NR.

@JTT,

I'm confused - pm's work for me. I got one the other day and I was notified that I got it, was able to read it and was able to respond.

How could that happen if they're not working?

@Night Ripper,

Well, honey, you are a putz.

@aidan,

They were shut off when a new batch of people spammed a lot. So new people have to wait. Some of them send up tom toms. Some of them are innocent newbies. Robert plans to work all that out.

Meantime, newbies seem to now take pms as some kind of amendment right.

Those members "spammed" only because they were merged from another forum. I'm sure those people are gone now or at least don't care anymore. Why not re-enable PM's for everyone?
