I don't see anything on your profile settings that indicates you can't send or receive PMs. What kind of message are you getting?
Both you and Pete didn't see anything in my personal settings either that would indicate my inability to utilize the smiley and pictorial forum here like ALL other registered posters here utilize (that Sly slammed me for) whining he called it, rather than seeking a solution.
It just wasn't important enough to resolve such, because it didn't affect him or any other posters personally when posting.
But, yet any of you are to come back here with a solution for those members that it still doesn't work for and for the reasons I stated as above (it's a clique here from Topix1 that's carried over into Pete's Revival) and that will never change, either..
No worries, I found a solution all on my own without this forum's help.
It's a dog eat dog world here - it's proven here, and daily when I do choose to visit..
