How can I send PM's on TSR as a new member?

What do you mean by forums like messaging here or starting a new discussion

Yep, forums are the areas where you can start a new discussion or find current discussions This discussion is in the help and announcements forum, as you can see in the breadcrumb above the post! I hope that helps

Hi there! i'm wanting to reply to a pm from someone and it says i cant send pms yet: ive made two posts in the forum, and been a member for three days, so niot sure why its not working yet?

You’ve only started posting today so it should unlock overnight.

I had this account for 3 days and made sure to help others in forums but I still couldn’t pm.It should’ve unlocked by now but I am still waiting…

@BurstingBubbles - any ideas?

May be a technical issue which is beyond me so just tagging in @RainbowLapras (feel free to tag them in for future queries like this)

Looks like yesterday was the 3rd day, so it should have updated around midnight today - are you able to send PMs now?

No I still can’t ☹️

How strange

What error message are you seeing?

I keep on seeing this message:

Oh!... Your profile isn’t quite ready to send private messages on The Student Room

How to send a PM
Easy - get involved in the community! There’s loads of super helpful and lovely people on TSR, so go say hello or ask for help in the forums and there’ll be friendly faces to welcome you. Your ability to send private messages will turn itself on once you’ve made at least two posts in the forum, and been a member for three days.

Idk what I am doing wrong bc nothing works😐

Could you please try one last time for me today? If that still doesn't work I'll do some investigation tomorrow!

Well GOOD NEWS!! It started working. Idk what happened but it started working randomly. ☺️

how do I private message?

See the first post in this thread, which says "Your ability to send private messages will turn itself on once you’ve made at least two posts in the forum and been a member for three days. Your ability to PM will update at midnight..."

You've met the two conditions, so now you need to wait until midnight.

Do you mean midnight in UK time? I think I'd better wait for one more day to try. Thank you

That's a good question. I don't know, and have never thought to ask. I assume it's UK time, but it might be UTC (which will be 1-hour different right now). @RainbowLapras?
