It appears that reddit has changed its chat functionality in order to protect reddit users from being sent unsolicited NSFW/NSFL imagery. This changes how all of our members will need to proceed with chat messages and requests.

Now, when attempting to send images to someone, they must first approve your chat request before images can be sent.

For many of you who have a "don't ask first, just send pics" mentality, unfortunately this will no longer work. People are now forced to ask you first if they can send media, and you must then approve the chat request.

Unfortunately this also means that once a chat request is approved, it cannot then be denied later. Therefore, if you no longer wish to chat with a person or see images from them, you'll have to select the gear menu icon in the chat window and select "hide conversation".

As this is a reddit change, we have zero control over this so we cannot assist you with any technical support for chat issues. Please reach out to reddit support for that.

Thank you.
