Personal Messaging on SF?

[GoneFishin]

How does one PM another member here on senior forums?

Click on the persons icon, and you will see start a conversation click on it, and type a message. answer will appear in the little envelope next to the bell in the upper right, click on it to retrieve, and answer.

I'm not able to message anyone that way unless they message me first.

You can write on someone's profile but that is not private.
If you want to communicate privately you start a conversation using the envelope icon

I don't see why not. You start a conversation by nominating the person you want to message and then you have to wait for them to notice it and decide to respond. They may not see it, or they may choose to ignore you.

I'll start a conversation with you and you can see how it works.

I believe you can't PM until you've been a member for a week and or had a certain amount of posts

At another site I belong to all I have to do is place the mouse pointer on there username and a box pops up then I would click "Message" which then allows me to send that member a PM

Thanks hollydolly. I kind of thought that would probably be the situation.

ummm .. we just messaged one another - so, your messaging function is working!

 

[GoneFishin]

I am referring to me messaging someone first. If someone messages me first then yes I can respond to that message.

 

[GoneFishin]

Thank you all for helping me try to figure this out.
