Help with private messages

Cannot figure out private messages. Am a novice computer person. Can anyone tell me how to do this? HELP? Have tried the user control panel - still can't figure it out. Thanks.

Go to User CP and click on "Send new private message." Or if you are looking at a thread or a post, click on a recipient's screen name, click "Send Message," and then click on "Send new private message."

When you click on "User CP" you might not be scrolling down the page enough to see where you can choose "Private Messages" choices perhaps? Try that too.

There are lots of ways to send private messages. The easiest may be to just left click on the user's name on any thread. A pull down menu will show. Click the second item on the list "Send a private message to____".

You can also go to the user's profile by left clicking on their avatar (the picture next to their name) and clicking on "contact info". and then click on "Send a private message to____".

From "User CP", scroll down to "Private messages", click on "Send new message". It will go to a page for the private message where you just type in the "Recipient Username(s)" and send your message.

Good luck
