How do I send someone a private message or ask one person a question?

[samsterdam22]

Just that and thanks in advance. I click on there profile and don't see any way to send them a message

You do not have private messaging rights yet, you need to be more active on the site, this is to ensure no spammers get to our member's,

You just need to have more activity. Try posting in more threads and get more involved with the riu community.

Try leaving a message on their message board located on their user profile in the meantime

If you got pm abilities, then maybe dude you trying to contact has his messages set to 'don't want any'

I have the same issue

What are the amount of posts needed?

I'm more of a lurker....coming to do research but don't post often.
I have like 60 posts but no PM privilege.

If you click on a member's avatar, the window that opens has an option to "Start a Conversation."

That's how you can send a Private Message.

we usually don't post that number so bots and spammers find out how many posts are needed m8, so just post a bit more and you'll be there in no time at all..

I heard one needs 'about a pound' worth of posts before you can PM.

thats the stupidest thing I ever heard about. change the name "private message" to "start a conversation" while everybody knows what private message is and nobody knows what "start a conversation" is and the verb "start a conversation" gives absolutely no indication that the conversation is between two parties and not the general population.

We didnt have a choice, it was called "private message" on vbulletin, when we switched platforms to xenforo it became "Start a conversation"
