I was trying to go into some older PMs from someone and it just kept saying 'You are not allowed access to this section' whenever I clicked on them. Does anyone know why that might be?

I think I've had that happen when I sorted by something other than date.  Two things I'd try:

1) Try right-clicking on the message subject and 'copy link location'.  When you paste it into your browser bar, you'll see a section that says 'pmid=########'  Take out everything after that set of numbers, and then hit 'go'.
2) A bit more cumbersome, but - make note of the date, go back to your inbox with a regular sort, and then use the pages (just below the list of message titles) to navigate to the right time-frame.

Ahh, that would make sense. I was searching by name. And it wasn't all the messages, either. Just certain ones, so it was no big deal. I was just curious how that would happen. That helps. Thanks! :D
