Chief Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 PNWMAS Forum Rules Our Mission: PNWMAS is a not-for-profit society dedicated to the education and husbandry of marine life in a captive environment.

Our society provides resources to the marine aquarium enthusiast in Oregon and surrounding areas by sponsoring meetings, lectures, online discussions, websites and other means, to connect local hobbyists.

lonny. Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I got a question. I can't respond to some threads but others I can. Is this part of probationary period? Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk That is odd.

Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Sometimes when things are sold the thread is locked so people know it's sold and it doesn't get bumped up 3 years later and no one but admin or board members can access it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowen1022 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I don't get a response box on ultra rock flower nems.so I don't I can pm so that'll work for now Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Sometimes in Tapatalk I get Reef2Reef threads that pop up (no idea why) and I can't respond to them because I am not logged into reef2reef on tapatalk. That might be why you cant reply. Also I know that you have to have 5-10 approved posts before you can post freely. I hope this helps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softy Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 until you hit 25 posts, you cannot post in the classified forums. As you stated, however, you can PM the individual if you are interested in buying something that is posted. Supporting members get that omitted. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
