LarryEA Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 (edited) To clear this up ... I want to PM someone who is not in this post... looking for the easiest way to do it. Question about the quickest way to find and send a message to a member on SSV. Hypothetical: You are in General Scroll Sawing and want to send "Frank" (sorry Frank) a message. What is the easiest way to send "Travis" or "Frank" or any member a message? How do you access the message platform for the member? A simple question, but is there a simple answer?

wombatie Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 If you hover over their name a small card comes up and a Send Message comes up at the bottom, just click on it. Is that clear or clear as mud? There's your simple answer, I hope. Marg Scrolling Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You assume their name is handy... everybody or anybody I want to PM is magically here... I cannot hover over Roly, Rob Roy or Keefie right now unless you know a trick. Scratch Roly, he showed up... Come-on Marg and Kevin, I want you to go to Coffee Shop and start a new topic, before you submit it, hover over my avitar and send me a message. Now tell stupid me how you would do it. .

After you click on the correct name which opens their profile click on " send me a message." You will have reached your.

Travis Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 The easiest way is just to click the mail icon at the top of the screen, then choose Compose New. In the "Recipient's Name" field, start typing in the name. It will automatically start populating member names. You just have to type the first few letters before a list starts showing up. Then select the member. Scrolling Steve, wombatie and dgman 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCtoolguy Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Thanks to everyone who added their favorite ways. My problem at this point, is I don't know everybody's name yet but I will in time. One thing for sure though, you are a great group.. Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Ray, I mean octoolguy, you ain't going to remember everybody's name. I made a rule for myself... "I have a right to call you by your member name especially if you don't sign your posts."
