Hi there

Is there a possibility to contact the board admin?

I've registered to this forum today and activated my account properly, but I'm not permitted to send or reply to private messages?
I get this message:

I've got a private message and I am now unable to reply. :-(

Regards.

try searching cause this gets asked a lot.

Second you do not need private messages at all!

[RK_aus_S]

Thanks. Didn't expect that this may be wantet.

Yes, you're right, I don't need private messages at all - but I thought it would be kind when I answer to a private message I got unexpectedly...

[Martijn]

What kind of PM did you get?

[ronie]

am i the only one wondering why a 1 post user instantly receives a pm on the very day he signs up to our forum?



edit: apparently not :-)

[RK_aus_S]

Are there different types of private messages? I don't know; as I loggend in here, there was a hint that I have private mail?

Ey, what should I do against it? I didn't ask anybody here for private messages! I'm a newby who signed up here with the hope to get help - that's all...

[Martijn]

We're curious at what kind of question it was.

[RK_aus_S]

Somebody wants to help me and asked me to provide short snippets of my M3U and XML file (I have an issue with Kodi EPG).

[DarrenHill]

Thread moved to forum and website section.

There are post count and account age limitations on the PM system, as it had been abused for spam purposes in the past.

[nickr]

Such things are usually provided via pastebin.

[Prof Yaffle]

Yup, what's been said. If someone wants to help you, then providing public pasebin links to those files - after a request on the forum - would be normal. If you've something there that you should not have, well, we'll respond accordingly - but PMing a new user to ask for private copies of files is very odd.

I'd suggest you respond with the pastebin links if you think it's acceptable.

[RK_aus_S]

Thanks at you all.
So I will read what Pastebin exactly is and how it works to provide my files this way.

Two questions:

1. Would it be against the rules if I post very short M3U and XML snippets directly in a post?
2. Would it be against the rules if I mention my email address directly in a post?

[nickr]

No

Yes (or at least frowned on)
