To Send Messages
- First, open a member’s profile from any of the following pages: Search Profiles, your friends list (click your profile photo thumbnail top right of page and see ‘Likes‘), your sent & received messages, the Community Wall, Groups or Chatroom.
- Look for a blue speech bubble. However, if you see 3 dots under their profile photo, click the dots to expand options, then you’ll see 2 blue speech bubbles: one is labelled ‘Private Message‘ to send standard email-like ‘messages. NOTE: the other is live 1-1 chat (the other user must be online for this to work).
- To send standard message *you must enter a subject* (or the recipient cannot open it), type your message in second the box below it, then press [Send] (or [Enter] or [Return] on keypad).
- To chat 1-1 (if the user is online), click the second blue speech bubble (also under the profile photo under 3 dots) and a chat window will appear. Type your message and press [Return] or [Enter] on keypad.
To Open & Read Messages
- Just click the message’s SUBJECT LINE.
NOTE: sometimes our external ‘You have new mail’ alert emails (to Hotmail/Gmail) do not reach member’s inboxes, so periodically login to check for new mail/profile activity.
