The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Today, 11/12, I cannot access the private message function on the TMF. Is anyone else having this issues?

I guess I've got the same issue.

I hope I'm wrong, but a disturbing pattern is emerging on this forum: Inconsistent performance (sometimes unusable), cannot make new postings to "Music," and now no PM capability...

Keep in mind that should the worst happen, there is a free, fully functional alternative supported by an organization rather than an individual:

Hi.
I have had this problem for several days. I have been trying to reply to a PM from drboruff, without success.
Is it possible that the member may see this and reply?
Regards Brian (UK member)

I wanted to ,wish a friend happy birthday a couple of days ago but haven't been able to get into the PM pages at all.

Apparently, it's now impossible to post new topics in several categories, including "Machines." Several TMF members who have not stayed logged on have been shut out of the TMF. A number of TMF members have contacted the Antique Phonograph Society asking if anything can be done, but unfortunately the APS has no control over the TMF. However, the APS continues to maintain the APS Forum:

TMF members who request APS FORUM accounts should send an email to [email protected] indicating their request is pending so that it can be expedited.
