The BB has been upgraded to permit private messaging between BB users. You have to permit this in your profile which you can change. The person you want to private message has to agree to accept your message or you won't be able to communicate with them privately.
Try this new feature if you wish to communicate privately with other BB users. Here are the instructions:
How to Post Topics and Replies
To post a new topic, click the "New" tab on the top left of any forum page. You will be asked to choose a new Discussion, Poll , Private Message or Photo Album (if enabled). Click one of these options to begin.
A discussion is a topic with replies
A poll invites people to vote on a question and add replies.
A private message is a discussion where only those invited may see it and participate.
A photo album is a gallery of uploaded images with a place to add comments as required.
To post a reply, look for a "Reply" tab at the top or bottom of any discussion or poll. Click this tab to open a posting window with tools for enhancing your post with bold text, images or attachments.
Beside each "Reply" tab is a yellow arrow for "Quick Reply." The "Quick Reply" is for fast text-only responses to a discussion.
Have fun!
Dave and Linda
