The private messaging allows members to send messages to each other without having to share email addresses. Once you have logged in a link will appear on your private menu as well as a Private Messages box on the left.

Members can select whether to receive email notices of new messages by editing their user profile. The contacts list contains only members that you have previously messaged. To contact users not in your list, you need to know their local user name.

NOTE
If this system is abused in any way by a member, they will have their PM rights taken away.
