Directory [Question why new user can't PM. Answer: feature is locked for new users]

Can someone please tell me how the DM function works in this forum? I have been asked to DM a few people but I’m unsure where to go or how to do so… I’ve gone on their profile but nowhere do I see a message icon or somewhere that says direct message. Thanks in advance.

Hey love you don’t have the power to do so yet. They ones that want you to DM you will have to DM you. Once you spend some time here you will go from basic to member and will be able to DM.

You cannot PM as a new member. The ability is locked by the system until you reach a certain threshold of activity. As @Angelb1083 mentioned above, members can message you, and you can reply to them, but you cannot initiate a message.

Are we allowed to ask someone to take a conversation private not to derail a thread?

Yes, you can ask if someone wants to move to PM.
