Could u pls increase private messages box quota?

Quota? I'm at the other end of the spectrum... 5 posts required before being allowed to send or receive PMs. I discovered this via discussion on another site, with a member who PM'd me here--I had no idea anything was sent, and they had no idea it wasn't received.

I can understand making newbs wait to send a PM, but if one is not allowed to receive a PM before reaching the 5-post quota, that should probably be noted as well. At the very least, a notice to the sender that it won't be received would be warranted, I think.

---------- Post added at 04:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:08 PM ----------

And perhaps the setting was changed? The PM in question showed up immediately after my above post.
