In summary, there are several reasons why you may be unable to send messages to a member on the platform. They may have blocked you, have private messaging settings, or there could be a technical issue. If you suspect that a member has blocked you, you can try searching for their profile. It is also possible to receive messages from a member even if you are unable to message them, unless they have also blocked you. To change your messaging settings, check your account settings and make sure that your messaging privacy settings allow messages from all members. If you are still unable to message a member, you can report the issue to the platform's support team.

How can I tell if another member is "ignoring me" or if they have settings to only members they follow can message them?

I was able to send a message months ago to this member, but now it will only let me tag and then write the message, but won't send.
