Payment method required to send messages???


I just received the following notice when trying to respond to a message a member sent to me.  The message was about audio gear and had nothing to do with buying or selling.  Is this a new requirement?  

You must have a verified phone number and payment method to send messages.

Hopefully this is an update error in which PM'ing was not supposed to be included in the added control(s).

From previous A'gon updates over the years my start date and address have been altered and I'm not the one who changed the address info.

I did what you mentioned, a message came up that I was verified and PM still doesn't work.

Too sick and tired of computers right now (after dealing with Directv, Verizon & Chase this week) to FURTHER ON.

When I woke up this morning I was logged out of A'Gon (not certain why) and when I attempted to log in I was prompted to enter the "one time code" sent to my phone.

I didn't write down the code from yesterday so I went to the phone to see if I had saved the message and there was a brand new message with a code.

I entered the code and it seems that PM'ing is now accessible.

Go figure.

Yesterday I received a 7 digit code (one digit too many for input to A'gon) and then after going round to the promt again I received a 6 digit code that could be entered, but it didn't work.

Later I recieved another 6 digit code (didn't work).

This morning I received a 6 digit code that worked as far as I can tell because I was able to PM Mitch.

I figure out computer stuff with trial and a lot of error (currently trying to setup a wiped iPad for my wife).

Did you receive the body of the PM (if so your'e still it)?

Try verifying the phone again (think I re-verified the burner).

Mine may not be working properly either as I went through the PM's I've received and did not have the option of replying to any of them (Including to TRM/The Music Room).

Got the "verified phone/pmt message".

Oh well, back to the iPad and sticking it to Verizon (who has been billing us even though we don't have a phone/#/signed contract with them).

Received your "brew" reply (under moderation), but cannot reply to it (verified message again).

Guess "I'm it" for the time being and jea48 is also off the hook.

"I just can’t reply to a message sent to me. I can send messages to members"

Same here.

jea48:

It appears that to "reply" one needs to do so via a "new" message.

I don't gather why a confirmed PMT source would be required for PM's of non sales stuff, but whatever.

I will only add a PMT source if I decide to buy/sell again.

Also didn't know that you were from the Des Moines area (or forgot).

I grew up on the South side/moved to CA in 77.
