Can we write private messages$

I’m New in This forum and just curious. Are we able to send private messages to each other?

Yes, but probably not right away. Did you get a message about trust levels? That should explain how it all works.

Meanwhile if you need to attract someone’s attention, you can tag them with an @anon8091425

In general yes, but some people have turned off private messages for their account so you can’t send them a private message, other people make their accounts completely private

Welcome to the forum @anon8091425 :grinning:.

As far as I know someone can write me and then I’ll be able to answer to it. But it seems like I can’t write Any body Else.

As @Ribbon said when you are new to this website they place restrictions on your account until you have shown you can be trusted. I’m not an expert on this but it might be the case you haven’t earned the trust level yet to send private messages, or maybe you are trying to send a private message to someone that has turned off private messaging in their account.

Because you just joined, you cannot message other people yet. Once you become a full memmber (also known as trust level 2) you will have that feature. You will know this has happened because your name will not be gray anymore. It is an automatic process that happens as you participate on the forum by posting and reading other posts. It usually takes about 2 weeks, depending on how much you participate.

Thank you for explaining I haven’t tried to reach someone. I was just curious.
