Yes, you're the second person to complain about that. I don't know what your moaning about I can make as many as I want ;D ;D ;D
Seriously I don't understand why it has been set up like that and I will take it up with run3R when he comes back off holiday.

I think this depends on the position of the user. The better the position the more the PMs. Hey why didn't you get a new position? You've crossed the 2000 post border?

Just doubled the limit, I hope it suits you, sabrefresco.

Moderators (like Dark Mantis for instance) don't have any limit, FYI.

Thanks runn3R, several people have queried it recently and while we are on the subject another problem that has come up several times is that of members not having the appluad/smite buttons. Is there a minimum post or similar they have to achieve to be able to use this facility?

Or is it that the IP Address they have used to join/login to the forum is the same as existing members?

Yes that's what I wondered. That's exactly what I told my son when he joined the forum and said he didn't have the buttons available and we thought that was fair enough, but since then there have been others and they can't all have been using joint addresses. :-\

Yes, the minimum number of posts needed to modify (applaud / smite) karma is 5.

For those of you who really care, this is what is going on inside Dark Mantis' head........

"Ooo! Ooo! Look at me sir, I'm following you around the forum aren't I a good boy!"

In the UK we have a term for this, it's called "Brown Nosing!"

No absic it's called multi-tasking. Some of us can manage to do more than one thing at a time(that's why I've got more posts than you) :P

How did I know that response was coming! You're getting a bit predictable. You youngsters, no imagination, that's the trouble ;D

Silly old duffer..... you knew that response was coming because of our earlier telephone conversation.

Some old people....  they just can't remember a damn thing!

Now where did I put me newspaper? ???

What is it I can't remember? If I could remember I wouldn't need to ask you. ??? ??? See multi-tasking again, I can forget things twice as fast as you! ??? ???
