    PMs don't seem to send

    I've recently tried sending out some PMs but it doesn't look like they were sent. The private messages count doesn't seem to increase at all, and they don't show up in my outbox. Can anyone give me some tips as to what I need to do to be able to send PMs? Thanks!

    Hey AT Handymen, give me some advice about fixing a leaky drain

    Now I haven't done much plumbing unless you count replacing faucets, but that probably doesn't count. I've been working on getting a drain leak fixed for a while without much success. The bathroom sink needed a new popup assembly so I went and bought a whole new kit. It contains the popup...
