Thanks for your reply, I've done the search and I have found that same post, but for some reason the system doesn't allow me to do PM. That why I created this post.

Thanks

Not sure about forum rules, but it could be because you're a brand new user

You can PM 'after' 3 posts, but I'm not sure if that's on 3 posts or with your 4th post. Try again, and if you cant, just post something else here and you then should be able to.

Edit: You've got 4 posts, so you should find PMing now unlocked.

PMs aren't that easy to find with this forum software/ You need to go to 'my control panel', hit the 'overview' tab then select 'private messages' and then the 'compose message' tab to select inbox, outbox etc.

Reliably fallible.

Hi joaofernandesuk
in order to stop spammers contacting forum members the PM function is turned off until you've got three posts registered.
You should now be able to PM Simon. :thumbup:

[EDIT] Wonks beat me to it.

Simon last posted on Oct 2nd in the Cable Labeling thread so he's still around. Post something with a subject "Need help from SimonZ" :-D

PM's are likely to be more effective but I'll let him know we're talking about him anyway.
