Private Message?

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 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.

I read this but why does my post not have a way to be emailed? Do I change settings somewhere?

If I click on your name I can send you an email.

Thanks Dav. Oops..that was what I was not doing but according to the instructions here it states there is an email user button. Guess not.

The choice of receiving emails is up to the particular member. When you go to your settings -> general settings, there's a section for messaging and notification that includes a check box for receiving emails from other members. If the particular member has that box checked, an email button should appear in the member's profile drop down menu. If the email button isn't there, it means that that person does not want to make their email available to everyone, in which case, you'll have to PM that person and receive the alternate contact info directly from the person.

hmm..decisions, decisions. I wonder if it would be used easily by scammers to be put on bad list? Thank you LaMedicine for the info. Makes sense.
