Sorry if this sounds dumb but whenever I try to pm someone in a new conversation I get an error that pops up saying I cannot message someone.
Hey you need to be a full member in order to pm someone who isn't staff and then you can only pm other full members. It's a safety feature that keeps EC the great place it is. To be a full member you have to have been around for a while and have about 50 posts I think but don't quote me on that it's a bit hazy in my memory. You can pm staff though if you need to discuss something.
The form for full membership is off line. I asked about it a month ago and the Staff said that it was like that because they wanted to make sure the new site was up and running before adding the form back. I checked a couple of days ago and still no form.
silverhalo is correct. We understand that the form is taking a while to be back online, but rest assured that we have that in mind. It will be back online as soon as possible.
