Can't enter PM recipient's name/I.D. in PM compose screen.

Post by LivingLegend »

I am having problems preparing my PM's for sending.

I can click on the PM button following another member's posting in a thread, and their name will come up in the area to the right of "TO" on the PM compose screen, where it should. But it is a solid unmodifiable area and type. I can still send a PM to that one individual.

If I click on the "MESSAGES" tab at the top area of an index or forum screen wanting to send a PM, when the compose screen comes up, the area to the right of the "TO" is a solid, blank area with no place to enter the recipient's name (or anything else). That area has an unmodifiable "NONE" where the recipient's name should be entered. See attached screenshot image.... The red circled area is the area I'm referring to. Obviously, the inability to specify a recipient means it's impossible to send a PM.

Question:

How do I send a message to a fellow member without having to do so as a reply to one of that particular member's postings.

I've never had this problem in the past.

LL,
Look to the left of the area you circled. You can enter a proper user name there, then click the button on the right side, which adds the user name to your PM..

Thanks, Harold.

Guess I just had a brain fart.... Since the new board software's PM composer layout is different from the old one.

Looks like I just didn't look in the right place to accomplish what I wanted to do.

I rarely initiate a PM these days.... Since I'm not as active in posting since I got came down with the "Big C".
