How to send private messages? (1 Viewer)

[Deleted member 534058]

Is there an option to send private messages? I want to send my email adress to one of the users and I don't want it to be public, but I can't find such option, only writing on his profile (which I guess will make message visible). Sorry, I know that probably solution is simple, I am just tto dumb to find it.

EDIT by moderator: For the record for anyone else who comes across this thread - the specific issue is that your account is too new. Our system is set up to prevent people from being able to send private messages before their account is a week old. This is specifically an anti-spammer procedure, so that spambots can't just make an account and start mass-DMing actual users.

This isn't really an actual problem, but I'll reply here so that if anyone else comes along with a similar question they might find this post and therefore the answer:

When you hover over the username of another person on the forum, a popup window that looks something like the below one will appear:

Within this window, select the "Start conversation" button. This opens the page that lets you send a private message to them.

When I hover over a username the only options are Follow Ignore Find - there is no Start Conversation option. So how do you send a Private Message?

Weird.
Can you post a screenshot of what you see?
In the interim. try this:
Near the top of the screen you should see your username. To the right of your username you should see an icon that looks like an envelope.. Click on it and it should bring up a mini-menu where you should see the words "Start a new conversation."

I checked your settings. Try sending a Private conversation.

Still not possible via user or mail envelope

I've attempted to tweak your stuff a bit further. Maybe it'll work now?

Both methods of starting a conversation are available now. Thank you very much!

Having the same issue as the original poster. No option to start private conversation.

I've updated something on your settings in the admin control panel. Are you able to start them now?
