Colin, to send a PM, click on a member's name. A dialog box will open. Click on Send a PM. A new page will open with controls similar to the open forum. Anything you write will go to that person alone; no one else will see it.

And that's how you send a private message!

As a further exercise, I will send this message to you as a PM. A tiny flashing red and white envelope will apoear at the top center of the forum page. Clicking on that will take you to the private message area, where you can read and reply.
