Private Messaging Where?

Post by Mary Ann »

Chris, I don't see where to send or receive Private Messages on this new format.

Hi Mary Ann,

At the top there is the user control panel, where you change your profile, settings, preferences, and you will also find your private messagse. Also, right next to that link is reads (X new messages). Click that link and it takes you right to the private message boxes.

Much of the controls on the new board are arranged by tabs. Tab links open new control areas and are worth exploring, but if you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask :D

Hope that helps.

Chris

I finally got my message away but it wasn't as easy as on the previous format.

Got hung up on the Recipient. When I hit Preview, recipient's name got deleted. Then I think I clicked on Add, then it worked. It's kind of confusing. Where will Private Message Arrived show up?

Hi MaryAnn,

Yes, the part where you send a PM to someone is a little different. You have to type in their username if one isn't already selected, then click on Add. The reason for that is that you can then add other usernames, so that you can send the exact same message to multiple people. Before you could only send one at a time to one person :D
