Hi old timer. Click on the letter or the photo icon next to a poster’s name and a box comes up. Click on the blue button to send a message. ---

Many thanks to those who messaged me, I was clicking on the user name. It worked in the past, worked today, did not work yesterday. If I understood cars as well as I do computers, I couldn’t change a tire. ---

If the user’s profile is private like Renegade’s there is no message icon to click on. ---

That explains it, it was Renegade I was trying to message. I have messaged him in the past. That is probably why he has made his profil:slightly\_smiling\_face:🙂e private ---
