When will I be able to reply

{In my best outsourced to India tech-support voice}

"Thank you for calling eccie technical support. My name is Nasim. How I can help you"

Are you sending them an actual 'Private Message', or are you hitting the "Reply" key directly under the ad?

I'll bet a bag of Pork Rinds that the reason it's not working for you is because you're hitting the "Reply" button below her ad. The system is set up so that nobody is allowed to reply--because it's an ad. as opposed to a discussion thread where you are allowed to comment.

That's probably where the mix-up's occurring.


To send a Private Message, look at the member's user-name located in the upper left hand corner of their post (or in this case her ad)

Click on their user-name and a drop-down box will appear.
Select the second one down which says, "Send a private Message to..."

A separate window will open and you simply input your text in the appropriate fields.
Then hit "Send message" button when you're finished and close that window.

Give that a shot and I'll betcha' it'll work.

"Thank you for using eccie technical support. Goodbye."
