I am unable to send the thread author PM, as he's not accepting PM from newbies.
The OP of that other topic has locked the thread and does not accept private messages from newbies, and your solution is to circumvent that by having some random stranger send them your PM? I kinda admire your sheer determination, but how about respecting the person’s wishes? You have started a thread about what you wanted to say, and chances are that OP will find it if they’re interested enough to read this board.
