Contacting a member

[Sharon.Mackay]

Hi, there has been a couple of times a member has said to contact them through the site for more details, but I cant work out how to do this?
Thanks x>>

If it is a person who has a rescue, they probably have a website too, so you could ask for details of that. If you click on a person's name it will bring up their profile, which often has website details, although until you have made 50 posts, I'm not sure if this option is available. If it isn't something confidential you couls post on here a request for details of someone's website. xx

That seems unfair for new members like myself, I have missed out on couple of things becasuse I couldnt contact them:(

Sorry about that, the reason for the 50 posts requirement is that a while ago, there were spammers coming on and sending pm's all over the place. Some of them were 'really' offensive and inappropriate too. I think though, that even though you can't pm a member, you can pm a mod, and they will let them know you want to contact them. Alternatively though, if someone does say 'contact me through the website' just ask them on the thread for the website address. Some for instance like Becklen Guinea Pig Rescue are easy they say who they are just through the user name, others may not be so obvious, so perhaps this could be a reminder for them to add a contact address each time they say about websites. Would be helpful to newbies I think. xxx

You can build up your posts really quickly by posting on the games or stories and photos. You'll hit the magic 50 in no time. :)
