PM ?....

[MikeW]

Am I not seeing  it? If you want to PM someone from here from scratch it seems like you have to go find them in a thread.  And why is it that under "My Profile" there is not a link to create a new PM to someone? And why can't you reply to an existing PM unless that person replies back first?

IF a member allows pm's, which most do, just click on the envelope icon with two people shaking hands.

aside from pm'ing them from a post they've made, you can do a directory search for a person(s) and pm them from their profile (assuming they allow pm's)

can't pm to yersef, though the pm link is there

And why can't you reply to an existing PM unless that person replies back first?

now think about that for a moment, and the resulting confusion that could create.  now you know why a new pm/title makes sense
