Sending a private message

How can I send a private message to someone on this forum - a message to him/her not shown on the forum - like on other bulletin boards, usually via the webmaster?

I have to agree with Steve here.
I've never run across a tech forum where one could not send PMs to other members.
Sometimes one gets to working on a specific problem one has and it simplifies things, and helps not to encumber the board with long threads/posts that are, perhaps, not a problem that affects a lot of people.
It's not about email. I have my email hidden (least I hope so!). I give out my cable modem box's address only very selectively.
It's also nice to send a thank to someone who solved your.
I don't see why courtesy should be excluded from any Forum--whether the forum's raison d'etre is technical or social. The vast majority of fora are a mixture of the two. Or, imo, they should be.
This forum, in particular, has somewhat well-deserved rep for non-responsiveness to iPod newbie questions. The first thread I put up didn't receive an answer for months. I haven't checked it again, but I'd be surprised if an answer was ever posted. A helpful answer that is.
I've made some good 'Net friends thru the fora.
So, let's take the ties off, make friends, solve our problems and teach each other the little tricks that programmers love to sneak into software (for you corporate types, and those of you in Rio Linda, that's kind of like "networking" but without the ulterior motive).
I'm no newbie, but I'm no programmer or engineer either. I know my limits.
Computer users, esp those who use Windows, often have strange issues unlike the divine Mac. (I don't have a problem with Macs. If I had the cash, I'd have a Mac laptop or desktop, or both if I really had the money.
I was using Macs before a lot of people with iPods were even born, starting with a hard driveless MacPlus--nine in B/W screen with MacWrite for the H.S. newspaper--in 1986, but I HATE those commericals!)
OK! Enough of this! I'm off to buy an 80GB Video iPod.<

  • How To Send A Private Message

    A private message is similar to an email. You can send and receive messages from anyone on the Forum without exchanging any personal information.
    To send a Private Message (or PM):
    1. Click on the screen name of the user, you want to contact.
    2. The person’s profile page will open. At the right hand side, under Contact Me options, click on the “Send this user a private message” link.
    3. This will open a window to create the message you want to send. Write an appropriate Message Subject and then write the main message in the Message Body.
    4. Like creating a post, you can change font, color, size of the text and use various other utility buttons to create an appropriate message. When you are finished, click on Send Message.
    Your message is now sent.
    If somebody sends you a message, there will be a blue envelope icon right beside the Log Out link. To check your message box, click on the envelope icon.

  • Need to send a private message to customer care

    Hello, !
    Thanks for posting. You should be able to click here to send us a private message! You won't have to input your username at all; just the message subject and body. See the screencaps below.
    Let me know if you have any other questions!
    -Mariana

    I can't send a private message to customer care because every time I put in my user name, rvrgs2, it says that it can't find my user name. Please let me know if there is another way to contact them. The problem I've been having has been going on for 7 months, and is too lengthy to post here.Thanks.

  • How do I send a private message to someone who has posted a previous question or answer?

    I have a similar question to one which was posted earlier and I would like to contact the person who asked this question, to see if the advice received helped sort out his problem

    AdrianB,
    Unfortunately, our current system doesn't have private messaging functionality.
    If the thread was recent, the person you are looking for may still be subscribed to it. If they are, then you can post to the thread and a notification will be sent to them and they may respond to you.
    If the thread wasn't recent, then the notifications to it have probably all expired. The best thing to do in this case would be to post a new question and reference the old thread in your question. The original person may reply to it or other users may reply and let you know their opinion of the advice given.

    Hi Molly,
    What qualifies as "recent"? In other words, how long until subscriptions have expired?
    Thanks,

  • Sending a private message on a public Queue

    Hi,
    I would like to know if it is possible to send a message on a public Queue, after explicitly indicating who is able to extract it, so that any other client (malicious or not) would not be able to read it.
    Thank's

    JMS does not address security other than providing basic username/password parameters on the ConnectionFactory interface. You would need to consult your JMS vendor's specific security capabilities. Most vendors do support secure destinations using user/name password, LDAP integration for credentials and encrypted mesaging using SSL.

  • How Do I Send  Private Message

    I need to send a private message to Jeff Bellune who is one of the moderators of the Adobe discussion forums. How do I do this?
    Bryan

    You are most welcome.
    One can also go to My Stuff, and choose Private Message from the drop-down, then begin typing in the recipient's name. However, depending on one's screen-name, that might not be as easy, as it sounds, AND there are many People, who subscribe to the Adobe Forums. I find that clicking on the Profile of the recipient to be the easiest method.
    Good luck,

  • How do I private message with Firefox?

    IS there a button to PM someone on Firefox and if so WHERE?

    Since Firefox is a web browser, you can't directly send a message to another user of Firefox. However, you may be able to find an [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox add-on] that will let you send [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant_messaging instant messages], using a service like [http://www.aim.com/ AIM] or [http://messenger.yahoo.com/ Yahoo! Messenger]. A quick search found [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/yoono-twitter-facebook-linkedi/?src=search Yoono].
    If you want to send a private message to a user on the Firefox support site, click '''inbox''' located on the top right corner of each page to the left of the Mozilla sign. From there, select '''new message'''.

  • Private Message

    How do I send a private message to a community member ?  I tried the private message option it doesn't work .

    How To: Direct Message
    The person you want to send the private message to has to accept you as a "connection" first, and yo uhave to accept them as a connection.  Once you are thus connected, you can send Direct Messages (same as a Private Message) back and forth with each other.

  • Private messaging?

    Is there a way to send a private message to another user here?
    I don't see one, though it's unusual for that to not be available these days on message boards.
    Assuming PM isn't implemented here, I suggest that it be added. Among other things, it's also preferable as a way to thank people for their replies, etc. -- i.e., rather than cluttering up the forums with those acknowledgments.

    As of now there is no way to do that, but some members - like myself - have their email addresses in their profiles. Clicking on the Apple ID gets you to the profile and if there is an addy listed, it will be there.

  • Private Message Error Message (please help)

    An employee attempted to send a private message to another employee. The following error message was received:
    Email is invalid and Email not supported email domain; contact an admin to invite.
    The person initiating the invite is able to send and receive private messages from other users.
    Please Help!

    Thanks for your response! The receiver is able to send and receive private messages from me (but not from someone else).  They both appear to be community members and are able to send and receive messages from me. Additionally, all of our email domains are the same.

  • Is it prossible to private message a member of this forum?

    I am looking for help in designing a web site and wanted to private message a poster on this forum, but cannot figure out how. Is it prossible to private message a member of this forum?

    Hello jmt,
    In this context, I would like to specify clearly the way to write a private message, because you do not only have to look to the thread, you have to look for the poster. Simply in one of his threads.
    Step one (I "used" you):
    Click into the name and you will come to step two:
    No you have to click into "Private Nachricht senden" (something like "Send your private message") and the menu from below opens (see screenshot):
    Good luck!
    Hans-Günter
    P.S.
    I selected the setting to get a message, when a private messages for me arrives.
