The HUBB PUB Chat forum - no useful content required!

BUT the basic rules of polite and civil conduct which everyone agreed to when signing up for the HUBB, will still apply, though moderation will be a LITTLE looser than elsewhere on the HUBB.

Try to select in the options Request a read receipt for this message
Then you will know if the recipient has read the message.
You won't have any sent messages saved unless you select Save a copy of this message in your Sent Items folder.

There is always a chance that you are just being ignored...

Red, if you like send me a generic test PM and I'll let you know if I get something. I'll also send you one so you can test reply settings. (for what it's worth, my post count isn't accurate. Forums can have the oddest little gremlins sometimes.)

Nevermind...the system still won't let me send a PM. I can still receive so feel free to send and I'll report here.

That is a measure to prevent spam. You must have eight (I think) posts on the HUBB before you can send PM. We had problems in the past with people signing up and right away spamming people. Spammer posts provide some telltale signs, so we can usually ban them before they get enough posts to spam your inbox. Contribute to some discussions and you will have your mandatory amount of posts before you know it!

I get it, Chris. I've tried not to add to a thread unless I have something to say that improves the conversation, even though I feel like I've taken over Red's thread here. It's been two years since I've joined. If I'm a spammer, I'm in for the long con.

All that being said, I've not needed the PM system until tonight. It's quite the non-issue. The community email list has worked well.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
