Private Messages

Private messages let you have one-to-one conversations with other members away from the public forums.

Starting a conversation

To send a private message, visit a member's profile and click Message. If you have an existing conversation with that member, it will be opened. Otherwise, a new conversation is created.

Sending messages

Type your message in the text box at the bottom of the conversation and click Send. Messages support BBCode formatting and must be between 5 and 5,000 characters.

Viewing your conversations

Your conversations are listed in your message inbox, showing the other member's name and a preview of the most recent message. Unread conversations are highlighted.

Click on any conversation to view the full message history. Older messages are loaded automatically as you scroll up.

Blocking

If you have blocked a user (or they have blocked you), you will not be able to send messages to each other.
