Private messages

[frozen chosen]

Sorry if this has already come up, but when I pull up a private message, there does not seem to be anyway to respond. There is a delete button, one for "quote" and "forward". What am I missing? I am computer illiterate. Help me. Please.

If you use the quote button it will create a reply with the original PM.

If you wish to send a message to someone that sent you one you can click on the user name and using the pull down click on send a PM.

I would suggest email over PM because the web site is a single point of failure: If it goes down, God forbid, your PM are not accessible. I never use PM for that reason.

The only problem with that is, if when the person created their account, they opted not to get email from the forum members, you can't do it. I found this out the hard way just last week.
