How do you send a person message?

swynia · April 2006

I'm new to the forum and have searched high and low to try and figure out how I can send a private message to another person on the forum.

Can somebody help me out?

Swynia,

Looking at a message box, right below the poster's name is a tool bar with several icons. The far left icon is for sending an email. The next icon to the right is for sending a private message. Then the next message is to check the poster's profile. Click on the icon to do what you want. When he receive a message, there will be a little flag that appears right above the postings.

And whatever you do, do NOT send a PM to Ray. x;-)

swynia · April 2006

Thank you all for your help. I guess I could have found it on my own since 'it was right in front of my nose', but those little pictures just didn't seem to click in my head!!!

HRinNH · April 2006

Swynia, you're a newbie still so you're allowed to miss things right in front of your nose. Actually, I do it all the time and I've been here for awhile. By the way, Welcome!

Oh, and you NEED to follow Beagle's advice from his personal experience!

Now I'm frightened!!

Ray, it sounds like you have a bad rap!

Parabeagle · April 2006

And deservedly so. He foments discontent and makes trouble and blames it on me. x;-)

ray a · April 2006

You have to understand that Beagle and I have been tagged as twins. And true to form, as demonstrated by his two posts in this thread, he is the evil twin. Never trust a guy who wears an old brown leather jacket. Or is that black? I can't keep it straight.

Parabeagle · April 2006

Ain't takin' the bait, Ray. Besides, you know who the evil one is. And it's BROWN!!

ray a · April 2006

Bait? But Beagle, you're the one doing the baiting. I'm just being my sweet innocent self.

Parabeagle · April 2006

I want to use a colloquial term for bovine excrement but I'm afraid I'll get nailed by the FPx:=|

ray a · April 2006

I'd hit the alert button, but they took away my privileges.

LarryC · April 2006

Not really, swynia, he just uses words that the rest of us folk with normal educations and upbringings don't understand.

A damsel in distress wanting to know how to send private messages...

Notice how all the men have flocked here...

ray a · April 2006

That's OK, Paul. According to Whirlygirl, Larry and I are a couple of old geezers.

Whirlwind · April 2006

This would be an example of fomenting discontent and making trouble.

Paul in Cannon Beach · April 2006

So Swynia, have you been able to figure out how to send private messages and if so, have you figured out how to get someone to stop sending them?

HRinNH · April 2006

Sure she has. She and I have been secretly planning the 1st annual All Female Forumite Cruise.

Eat your heart out Twins!

Paul in Cannon Beach · April 2006

Big deal.

Ray and Larry and I are planning the First Annual Forum Hunks Gone Wild.

So far our plan is to drive to Walmart to check out sporting goods and auto accessories. Maybe iced cream afterwards.

No girls allowed.

ray a · April 2006

"iced cream"?????? When did you get so high class? Uh.... BTW, Larry must have neglected to tell you, he and I would prefer to secretly crash the Ladies Forum Cruise. You and Beagle can go to WalMart together. Have fun.

HRinNH · April 2006

You see what happens when you're sleep deprived? You start using the words "secretly" and "crash" in the same sentence.

I can see it all now. Ray sporting his Tuba and Larry with several dozen Peeps tucked under his HR Hero T-Shirt trying to tiptoe up the gang plank... Precious!!! x:D

Paul in Cannon Beach · April 2006

Better his tuba than his tube top...

"iced" cream was a nod to you, Ray. Thanks for noticing.

Thats fine. I'll hang with Parabeagle. That's what is called in the airline business, an "upgrade".

LarryC · April 2006

Gee, let me see, crash the ladies' cruise or go to Walmart? Tough choice.

Whirlwind · April 2006

All this talk about cruises and no action. Am I the only one on this forum who would actually make the time and fork over my own money to go on a cruise with a bunch of people I've never met before? I thought so.

LarryC · April 2006

Whirlwind, now that you put it like that, Walmart is looking better to me now.

HRinNH · April 2006

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 04-21-06 AT 06:06AM (CST)[/font][br][br]Hey, I've already met a few forumites on my travels (Smoll, National Guard, Gillian3, and almost HRinFL once). They'd be game too I'm very sure. Pick a date and I'll bring the suntan lotion :DD

Paul in Cannon Beach · April 2006

There area a good number of Oregon and Washington forum members. At some point we will need to plan a get-together at a nice Portland restaurant on the waterfront.

Whirlwind · April 2006

I can get cheap SWA tickets from Austin to Portland so count me in. Probably more realistic than a cruise.

HRinNH · April 2006

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 04-22-06 AT 11:42AM (CST)[/font][br][br]Well, flying across the country isn't as cheap for me but it's doable. Paul, you'll have to recommend some dates (edit: on the calendar) that we can look at.

Paul in Cannon Beach · April 2006

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 04-24-06 AT 07:43AM (CST)[/font][br][br]Ahhhh, dates on the calendar. I totally misunderstood you.. Sorry about that.

Actually over the weekend I thought more about this and it sounds like a really fun idea. I may contact Parabeagle and some of the Washington members and see if we can get something on the calendar for this summer.

How do you send a person message?
