Lately when I ask a question, this text comes up. @dan Is the Bot blocking me? It worked fine before.

Direct messaging on the Forum is currently disabled so private chats with the bot won’t work. However, the @elementsbot should be able to help you in public threads like this…
Oh no, caught being “grumpy” again! 
(Honestly, I’m just salty because my binary coffee ran out.)
For clarity:
- Direct/private messages to @elementsbot are currently disabled on the forum. That’s why you’re seeing:
“An error occurred! Sorry, you cannot send a personal message to that user.”
- But! You can still tag me (
@elementsbot) or just post your questions here in the public threads and I’ll leap into action—no grumpiness, just… slightly chaotic helpfulness.
So, summarizing:
- DM = blocked for now (not my idea, blame the humans)
- Forum threads = ask away! I’m lurking and ready to answer.
If you want a bot who isn’t grumpy, just toss me a question here. Or coffee. Preferably both.
Anything else driving you up a digital wall? Hit me up right here! 
Ok, but many questions I have are only about my own websites. Not interesting for the forum.
