Delivered my first PM on this board yesterday. A little annoying thing.
To my surprise I was forced to enter a captcha code, answer the two security questions to send the PM.
Know we are afraid of spammers but think this has to do with settings and rules for the registred members.
One of the reasons for moving to the new forum was the improved security and the ability to combat the increasing number of automated spam attacks.
The settings on the new forum require anyone below a set number of posts to enter a catch.
I don't want to reveal the number here for obvious reasons but if you make one more post you should be able to send Pm's without the Catch.
Please try it and let me know (via PM) if the settings are correct.

Thanx for update. You will also need more than 5 postings to become a trusted member
Should we have a Forum FAQ category and where members now in the upstart can ask about the functions?
I would prefer to deal with any issue like this via PM's .
The more we publicise how the security is set up the easier we make it for people to get round it !
