Private Messaging - Help!

[Airborne01]

Greetings O Cognoscenti! I can foresee the need to invite people to engage in a brief PM in the near future but, having the tech skills of an Andalusian Aardvark, I have no idea how to set this up. I would be grateful if somebody could explain, preferably in words of one syllable, the process. Many thanks!

Hi Steve
I find a post by the person I want to pm. Click on the avatar/name. A box will appear and at the bottom it says "start conversation". Click that and away you go.

Thanks Jim, this Bear of Very Little Brain is eternally indebted!

Alternatively, click on the conversations icon (envelope) then select 'start a new conversation' and start to type in the username of the forum member. As you start to type it will bring up the available options until we find the one you want.

hope that helps.

I saw them perform at the local Derby & Joan club - bit too noisy for me - nearly broke my hearing aid!

I s this then private Jim between the two persons.

I had a post removed as what I thought was private was open to any one to read.

Yes it is Laurie. Others can only read it if you invite them.

Hi Laurie
Yes. The message is only between the participants in the conversation. If I were to pm you only we could see it. We could have a bigger group if the message instigator chose to so do.
