Sometimes in a message you'll read someone write 'if you want the number of so and so, send me a quick message'
How do you send a message (email) to another forum member, it seems I do not have this feature available(?)
On computers there are always at least 2 ways to do anything. At the top of the page next to New Posts it says Private messages. Click on that and then input the victim's user name and fill it out.

Good info, but I do not have a PM link at the top of the page. I see where it says New Post. Also, when I click on certain things like my profile, it says I do not have access. Finally, I can't like or dislike anything. I figured I was in a probationary period or waiting for a moderator/admin to give me access.

Have you tried what Ken posted? Maybe you have to wait till you have 10 posts. I left clicked on your name and I can't email or send you a pm. Unless you it set up so that no one can contact you. I don't think I've ever had a problem sending a pm to a newbie before.
The way to fix that is by going under "settings" which is right beside the "profile" icon
At the top of the page find "forum actions" and click on the arrow, then click on "general settings". That opens the page where you can indicate that you want to be able send and receive emails and PMs.
Appreciate all the tech support here!
Did that and get this message:
Cocoa6705, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.
All good suggestions. Keep them coming. If nothing else, I'll wait for the functionality to kick in.
I think we're all on to something when we suggest I have to wait to get a certain amount of posts. With this subject alone I could hit the magic number.
Definitely didn't set up the account to block anyone (at least not yet).
Tried Ken's suggestion of left clicking. Allows me to view the profile or the user's previous forum posts.
Tried the settings feature, but get this message:

You now have 10 posts, try sending me a pm by left clicking on my name
no luck.
I can see you are offline. Don't think that matters. I tried with members who are online as well.
I get the option of viewing your profile or previous forum posts.
Try writing one more post and see what happens after you get past 10 posts. I remember someone talking about a minimum number of posts before access to some functions, not sure if true. But it was not too many. I think it is to keep the spammers away as much as possible, because there are people who log into forums, write one post and then spam a bunch of members by PMs... so I like the idea of a minimum... I think you will get access soon after another post - or a few more...
We accomplished something today, huh?
I'm invisible so I can sneak up on you but you should still be able to send a pm
