Private Messages
When you’ve got something to share with another member that you don’t want everyone to see – send a Private Message. All you need to know is the other member’s screen name.
You need to sign in to view, create and respond to Private Messages. After you sign in, look for a blue envelope icon on the upper right of your screen. If there’s a number beside it – that’s the number of messages you have waiting to be read. Regardless - select the little blue envelope icon.
Have unread private messages? The number by the blue envelope icon on the upper right of your screen will tell you how many you have.
