Forum: message system

[Guest]

For those that do not know about the messaging systems on this forum there are two ways to message.

PM or Private Messaging is just that -- Private.

Visitor Messaging can be seen and read by any and all members of this forum .

Use Visitor Message system with caution and discretion remembering that what you are typing to your buddy can be seen by all of us.

Being a moderator on another site using this same server I have learned a few things to watch out for.

yes good advice. ill just add the official FAQ about contacting members, as i doubt most of the members even read it.

Can I email other members?

Yes. To send an email to another member, you can either find them on the member list, or click the email user button Email User on any post they have written.

This will usually open a page that contains a form where you can enter your message. When you have finished typing your message, press the 'send email' button and your message will be sent instantly.

Can I see email addresses?

For privacy reasons, the recipient's email address is not revealed to you during this process.

Why can't I send an email to someone?

If you cannot find an email button or link for a member, it means either that the administrator has disabled email functions for this forum, or that the member has said that they do not wish to receive email from other members.

Can I email a link to a friend?

Another useful email function is the ability to send a friend a link to a thread you think they may find interesting. Whenever you view a thread, you will find a link somewhere on the page which will allow you to send a brief message to anyone you like. Your referrer ID is added to the link you send, so if your friend registers on this forum as a result of viewing the link you sent to them, your referrals total will automatically be credited.
