Sending a private message

Start a one-to-one conversation with another member.

Messages are private conversations between you and one other member.

Start a conversation

• From a profile: press Send Message.
• From the Messages page: open Messages, press New Message, search for the member and choose them.
• From a listing: press Send Message, if your community shows it. The conversation then shows which offer or request it is about.

Write and send

Type in Type a message... and press Enter, or press the send button. To start a new line, hold Shift and press Enter. A message can be up to 10,000 characters.

Your conversations are listed in the Inbox tab. Use Search conversations... to find one. Inside a conversation, the magnifier button searches its messages.

If you see Direct Messaging Disabled, your community has turned off private messages. Use exchange requests instead. If you see Messaging Restricted, a community administrator has limited your messaging. Contact your coordinator if you think this is a mistake.
