Answered Are there no "Private Messages" on this forum? (or am I doing it wrong)

Hello,

This is a great forum and I'm very glad to be a part of it! How do you send and receive a "Private Message" with someone? All of my messages which I thought were my PM's show up in the general search bar.

A lot of times peoples phone numbers and addresses are exchanged in PM's between 2 parties and I don't think that should be posted on the general forum for the whole world to see. Please let me know if there's another way to make a PM, if not I think that may be something that may benefit and keep the site more safe and secure.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks

Matt

When I go to the white search bar on the home page and type in "CZ TSO", my 2 private messages are listed there.

Just to clarify, you're saying I'm the only one who can see them in that general search bar? If so great!

Thanks for the quick response

Matt
