What Happened To Private Messages?
It used to be possible to send a private message to a MR member, but I can no longer find the facility. Was it removed? Or is it hiding somewhere?
Sometimes off-thread discussions are very helpful, enabling the exchange of information the members may not want to share generally. Thanks. |

Click on User CP (top left). The private messages options are then about half way down on the left hand side of the screen. At least they are for me.

Thank you, they've moved. I'm sure the link used to be on the recipient's profile page, or near their avatar in the main forum.

I don't believe anything's been moved. Not in quite a few years, anyway.
PMs are also available from the "Quicklinks" submenu of the forum's top toolbar. There's also a link to Private Messages under the Welcome, <username> banner at the top/right of the page. |

I'm sure there used to be either a little pm function near the person's username and avatar (next to the comments in a thread) OR it was a function, easy to find, on the profile page of the person one wanted to send a pm to. I'm confused! |

I've just realised what I've been doing wrong!!
When I left click, I've developed the habit of clicking the scroll wheel instead of the left mouse button. This is because I normally want to open the link in a new tab. And this is why I'm always sent to the user's profile page! Must be having a "senior" day. Sorry. Thanks for the help. |

Anyways, my point is, that is completely understandable. Nothing senior about it!! A matter of adjusting to the UI is all |
