Option 2: Sending a private message to me

Step 1: Click on my username Kal_Lam.

Step 2: Then on the right, click the Message button.

Step 3: Type in your message.

I’m having same issue. Comes up with “cannot send a personal message to that user”

@rhama111, you should now be able to send a private message. If you still have issues, please refresh your page.

Thank you!

@Ansam, it is strongly recommended to NOT share your username and password in a public forum.

Hi @Ansam,

Just click on the username you want to send message to, then on the right you’ll see a message button. Click on it. You’ll send a message.
