Topic Wiki

This is the thread where you can ask any random question you have. Feel free to ask even the most basic questions that you otherwise might be embarrassed to ask. This is the thread for beginners, so veterans here will treat you nicely. Ask a beginner's Q in some other threads and no guarantee of that same treatment. ;)
People here want to help, so just have some patience, follow the tips below and hopefully someone will help you when they have a chance.

If you looking for a particular thread you once saw and can't find it, this is not the place to ask. Check out Help Me Find It and ask there.

How to ask a question in this thread:
Click the blue reply button at the top or bottom of the page, type your question, and click post!

Some helpful tips for eliciting answers from other members:
- Keep your question short and precise. No one wants to read a megillah.
- The more questions you ask in one post, the less likely any will be answered. People are willing to answer a question or two, but if you ask all the questions that apply to your particular issue, you're expecting to be spoonfed. Members don't like holding out the spoon, so ask accordingly.

Hi all,

New here, as a new member am I able to message other users?  Will I be able to see messages I've sent?

Thanks,

Hello Ken.

The answer to both of your questions are yes, you can send, and see the messages you send.

However, I will mention that your ability to send messages is limited until you increase your posting.

I think it’s the ability to receive messages that’s limited with a low post count. But maybe it’s both.
To receive more than 1 message, or is it a few, you need to keep emptying your in box.

From this post, it seems like it's both.

Just found out about this site, I've used forums to buy/sell/trade before, but only for digital and video game stuff.

Just wondering what I have to do to be able to send/receive more than 1 message? My inbox said it was full after I had one message, not sure if that's accurate

Thanks in advance

After you send the message, it should let you know if the message was sent successfully.

You can also check in your sent messages.

What does it mean if a user's name is in grey e.g. "chemsensor"?
Does that mean they were thrown off the site? changed their username? Other?

I know this isn't the solution for many reasons to want to combine points, but just a reminder:  sometimes you can just make some tickets from 1 account and the rest of the tickets from a second account.

Why was their account closed? Looks like they've logged in after this post saying their account was closed.

Thanks

What about for miles accumulated previously (not only future pooling)

I’m looking for a thread re 2 topics. If there isn’t One, then advice for where to post it.

1. Yeshivish (chabad) fedora hat online for a good price. Amazon ideal. Wool maybe?
2. Money making ideas/promos/offers to take advantage on (like good bank or casino promos, coins, etc).
Thanks
