Hi

Can someone let me know what a pm is and how to use it :(

A PM is a Private Message sent between two members.

You can access messages by clicking on the small envelope icon at the top of the screen which is to the left of your user name.

If you want to message another member, click on their avatar photo on the left of each of their posts, you are directed to their profile page and you'll see the middle button (send a message) towards the top right hand of that page

After you click on the icon and select the compose new message option, you'll need to enter the recipients user name as it appears on screen the name should pretty much auto complete once you get far enough through entering it - a great double check that you've got the name right!

 

Note, you can add several names to send to more than one recipient at once.

 

When you receive mail, you will see a little red circle appear next to the envelope icon, with a number in it, click on the icon, and any pm threads with unread messages will show in bold. Note, when a PM first pops in, a preview will usually pop up on screen too.

 

Alternatively, if you click on any members avatar picture under their username at the left of their posts, as well as the other information about that member, that appears, you'll see a little envelope icon with send a message next to it. (or words to that effect). Click on that icon to start a PM to that member.

 

You'll also find one or two other ways to start PM's in the Boardroom, but those two should get you started! 

 

You should also get a notification email when you receive a PM, but note, you can't reply to it.

Also, if you hover your mouse pointer over someone's user name, either at the top of one of their posts or at the very bottom of the main page showing who's online, a window appears showing you that person's forum details and a "Send Message" button which you can use to send a PM.
