After the April Fool's Joke, where most people were set to "Bluepill" rank, I can no longer access Private Messages at all.  Even though my forum rank is restored, I have no Private Messages link at the top of any page, and when I click the PM button in a post, the board tells me "You do not have permission to send/receive private messages."  I've certainly done nothing to have my permissions revoked.  Virrago, can you please look in to this and restore my permissions for Private Messages?  I am in the middle of helping a few new players and would like to reply to them.  Is anyone else having this same issue? 

(This reminds me of the old tech support instruction "If your internet connection isn't working, send an email to [email protected]" or "If your phone service isn't working, call tech support at 1-800-CAT-CH22"

If this is something you need to reply to me about it private, send an email to [email protected] as I won't be able to read any reply in Private Messages.)

Thanks!

Virrago suggested I delete Cookies, which I had done previously to try to clear the issue.  While it wasn't specifically a cookie issue, it's working again now.  I use and recommend a free utility called CCleaner.  It cleans out cookies, temporary internet and Windows files, as well as a very good (safe) Registry Cleaner.
