Click on his name and select "Send private message to bob jenkins".

That doesn't work.

[Welpe]

What part doesn't? I can get all the way to the screen where you enter the subject and message. I didn't actually submit a message because I don't want to flood his inbox with useless garbage.

You do have to be logged in for that to work though.

push send once. trust me

[Welpe]

OK, I sent him a test message and I didn't see any errors or problems, it went through and showed up in my "sent" box.

Sorry bob for the test message I sent you.

Edit: Weird, after I sent the message, I went back and tried to go to the screen again and now I'm getting the no PMs message. Forum glitch I guess.

he must have changed his settings, i received a "this user does not accept PM's"

Let me try to clear this up.

1) I used to receive PMs.

2) Then I changed to not receive PMs because:

a) I got some that were nothing but profane rantings
b) I didn't notice that I got some, then some complained because I didn't respond.
c) I don't recall getting any (other than from other moderators) that couldn't be said / asked in the public form.

3) JWWashburn asked in this thread if he could send me one, so I "allowed" PMs.

4) He sent me one (it falls, imo, in group 2c above).

5) Welpe also sent me one while I was receiving PMs.

6) I have now disabled this feature, thus johnnyg08's posting.
