In any post, just click on the name of the member. It will open their "ID" window. Click on the name once again, and you are immediately taken to the private message box.Soooo...how does a fella post private messages? I've poked around and can't seem to figure it out. I was guessing the little envelope icon, but that just shows "conversations" for me but doesn't seem to include an option to start one. Thanks in advance!

I must be doing something wrong...that only seems to allow me to do a profile post. Ugh. Usually pretty good with technology...In any post, just click on the name of the member. It will open their "ID" window. Click on the name once again, and you are immediately taken to the private message box.
I tried that once but it never went through. The member never got it and I had no notification that it was ever sent. I gave up. Now I just open a conversation. Can other members see your conversations or are they private?In any post, just click on the name of the member. It will open their "ID" window. Click on the name once again, and you are immediately taken to the private message box.
I know, but most members, who are active for a long time now, can also not send PM's now. I for one cannot send them.A reminder, .....our tech support Joel just changed the PM format because of recent porn spam which was using the PM/Conversations to bother our members. He made it so new members are restricted for a short period of time from PM to stop this. I will ask him what the time limit is.
This is what I get too. I can go into my mailbox (letter top right of screen) and start a conversation, but the double click on the members name doesn't seem to work for me.I reckon that's the bit I am missing - there is no "Start a Conversation" option for me - only the option to make a profile post, which is a different thing right?

Thanks Brian! It seems Joel has eliminated not only the new members, but all of us. I used to see "Start a conversation", below a forum members name, but now it is not present anymore. You could see that, when hovering you're mouse over the users name.Ok thanks for that information. I will pass that on to Joel.
I would participate in the donations. As you all know, I am also a member in a large motorcycle forum, using the same Xen-Foro.Thanks for the update gentlemen, I sent another email to Joel explaining that now everyone has been effected by the changes to the PM feature. As I mentioned, we were just trying to deal with the porn spam which was using PM’s as a back door to annoy members. We will get this fixed. The overall spam problem would also be solved by a small yearly membership fee in order to participate/ post here on the forum.
