If your message is private or of limited public interest, send it to one person only.

1. Log in first.
2. Click "Memberlist" near the top of the screen.
3. Click the "PM" icon next to the username of the member you want to write to.
4. Write and send your message.
5. Your addressee is alerted that they have received a private message when they next log on.
6. Your addressee will also be alerted by email, so long as they have configured their profile to allow this.

• You can only send a private message to one person at a time.
• The "PM" icon also appears next to messages posted on the bulletin boards and you may find it convenient to click this when you wish to right a private response to a public posting.
• You cannot send anyone a private message without logging in first - even though you can see the list of usernames.
