There are three ways you can send a private message to another member on this site.

1. In the forums, find a post written by the member you want to send a message to. In the blue bar at the top of the post, click on the member's name. This will bring up that member's profile. Simply click on the "Send Private Message" link, type your message, and hit 'send'!

2. At the top of the page, click the "My Account" link. This will take you to your profile page. Underneath your username, click "Send Private Message". Remove your name from the To: box, (unless of course you want to PM yourself?!) and replace it with the username of the member you want to send a message to. Type your message, hit 'send', and voila!

3. Also at the top of the page, click the number in brackets. This takes you to your 'Inbox'. Click 'Write a new message', fill in the boxes, and click send!

PS An orange star next to a message means it hasn't been read (by you, if it's in your Inbox, or by the recipient, if it's in your 'Sent Messages' folder).
