I am getting a lot of errors with private messaging today. Can anyone help me figure out why it is acting so strange?

Specifically, it errors when I have tried to return a message from older discussions with people here. And then I am getting an error saying that I cannot PM again for an hour. But I am not even getting a PM out. I think I understand that you cannot PM members until they are in the group "Advanced Members" - is that correct? I have never seen a time limit associated with the PMs that I send out in the past. I am just confused!!

Thanks!

Yes, due to issues with spammers there is a time limit associated with sending personal messages and emails via the board.

Take care,

Scott

Thanks, Scott!

Has it always been that way, and I just never noticed it? Or is it something new that was incorporated? And why can I not PM people that I have previously contacted here? And do I understand correctly about getting errors when trying to PM people that are new here, that they must be in the "Advanced Members" group?

Sorry I am still confused! Keila :)

I have had this occur also and as a long time member of the board i find it very troubling to not be able to return messages from other members when they ask a question of me. I am able to send one message but it is much more than an hour that I am prevented from replying I ususally have to wait for the next day. I understand the issue with spam but there has to be a way for long time members to get around this issue. It troubles me that people that are asking for important info on subjects might think that I am ignoring them. If there is any way to fix that? I and I am sure others would really appretiate it.

Thanks

Yes, I am troubled too, as I cannot even access the last PM that I received. It seems that I no longer have any PM privileges.

I commented to Dh, last night, ohmigod, we have just been spammed big time! I appreciate the problem. Is there no way we can filter out the one-timers versus the long-timers?

I'm still pretty new here, and trying to pick up on the rules. What is the time limit for new members and PM's? I received an email telling me I had a message, then couldn't access it. I feel bad that someone will think I am ignoring them, do they get an error message too so they know it is nothing intentional?

I owe someone here an apology, I'm not sure who, but I hope they see this. I have apparently been breaking the rules. I thought I was just losing my mind and kept putting my link back in my signature. I was negligent about reading the rules, and received several warnings. I am sorry for not reading the rules as carefully as I should have.

The message referred to in the above post was a warning from admin that I couldn't receive. My question is, can admin override the no PM rule? Had I been able to receive the PM I would have jumped on board and began following the rules immediately.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon.

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      It's like a double edged sword.......we do one thing to improve a problem and cause another problem. I'd like to think the ultimate cure might be something that would train or modify the body to prevent the damage that gluten causes.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
