Hi all,
I just wanted to clarify something that I don't think has been addressed yet.
The 5 message limit refers to 5 message threads, not 5 individual messages. This means you can start conversations with up to 5 different people within a 24 hour period and once a thread is started, you're free to message back and forth with that person as much as you'd like within that time frame.
Since the limit works on a rolling 24 hour basis, it doesn’t reset at midnight instead, the 24 hours count from the time you first sent the message. To help you keep track of which messages are active, look for the small 'eye' icon next to each message thread. This indicates which conversations are currently active.
You can message as many users as you like to initiate a conversation / thread. But there is a general cap to prevent spam (just in case you're super active!), but for most users, it won’t be an issue. The key is to be selective about who you choose to message.
Here are a few tips from me to make the most of your messages:
* Prioritize users who are online (look for the green circle). You're more likely to get a quick reply and start a real conversation.
* Engage publicly first and join in on forum posts, shouts, or chats before going private. You can also leave a friendly comment on someone’s profile or content to show interest before messaging.
* Read profiles carefully. Reach out to people who share similar interests and seem like a good match, rather than sending messages randomly.
* Make your message titles count. A thoughtful title can encourage someone to open and respond.
Hope that helps!
