PM or email other members?

Is there a way to PM or a form that will send an email to a member? I have a specific question for a specific member and I can't seem to find a way to contact them unless I were to put an unrelated post in a topic they are on.

I'm sure it's totally obvious, but I can't seem to figure it out.

Thanks!

Look at the top of the browser window, where it says my account, click on this, and turn on "Personal Contact Form"
Then, People will be able contact you.
PS, who are you trying to contact?
ps2, you can only contact people who turn on this option.

Thanks nmz502. I had that option checked when I signed up. I guess I'll have to post a request for a contact.

I was trying to contact OSX2000 regarding some MacAddict stuff. I guess I'll just post in the thread where he mentioned it (MacAddict).

A PM style feature would be nice, but maybe a coding issue or a spam issue or both.

EDIT: Okay, I clicked on everyone's profile here that responded to this thread. I don't see a way to contact of you guys. Do you guys have the contact option on?

Well, I guess you guys can send me love letters or hatemail or whatnot, if you want. In the meantime, let OSX2000 know I'm on the lookout for him if you see him somewhere.

When I click on your name, it takes me to your profile, but no contact option. Maybe try logging out and then back in? Maybe the option is only available then. I don't know really, but it's worth a try.

nmz502 -- I tried out the contact form. We'll see if it comes through. So, is the number (186) your particular user number? If so, do we need to know the user's number to send a message?

it doesn't look that way.

oh ha ha , i just meant that 'high' art (classical baroque) and "low" or popular art are the same- they're both culture. lol i'll keep my cultural theory musings to myself from now on.

Actually Baroque Music and Metal have a lot in common,
Much of the Musical lines and forms and Scales of Metal come from Baroque Music
specially in the age of Shredders like Yngwie Malmsteen, Vinnie Moore, etc..
bands like Helloween and Iron Maiden used them too.

and yes , sometimes I don't get the jokes.

Thanks! It's a real life recreation (not mine) of the Banana Jr. 6000 from Bloom County.

Cool! The Tangerine iMac to the right was one of mine that had to be recycled, so I salvaged whatever I could, and made the case into a bed for my neighbors' kitty. She likes it!

Currently there is no PM system. I could try to make it work, or I could spend time redesigning the way the site works (resulting in a site that works a lot better overall, though requiring some amount of data transferring again.) I'm not sure what you'd prefer, but I think redesigning has more long term benefit.

That said, if you want to message me, email arm3...@gmail.com .
