Hello

Silly me; just noticed it says private message top right hand corner!

crimson If you look on a posting, say mine here to the right it say's private message for that person and if you click it allows you to send a message.

I find it a bit frustrating as there seems to be no way of knowing if you have a personal message other than receiving an email to your personal email you signed up with, and sometimes it is ages later when i get to check my emails, so you loose some of the benefits of instant talk.

I think we should have some form of instant chat on here.

I hope that helps, and I am not talking out of my head.

Sorry x posted.

crimson if you want to private message someone just click on the 'private message' bit on the right hand side of the purple bar with their name on. You can then write your message to the poster and nobody else will see it (any incoming mail will come in your inbox at the top of the page)

I am a veteran of gransnet of 10 minutes but think it works out the same as mumsnet.

I came over to gransnet for a look, I have been a mumsnetter on here. It's lovely - it is having a conversation with my (much adored) mother in law.

Welcome Daisymay

glassortwo have a look at the inbox up there <points>

Nanapippa and crimson If you send a private message, it can only be seen by the person to whom you have sent it. I sent and received one yesterday. You get an e-mail from gransnet in your usual in-box and then come to the site and access the message. So if you want to give your e-mail addresses to someone, I think you can do so safely.

Thanks everyone for the info about private messages. Think I need to open my eyes a bit! Doh....... ;)

Hello Daisymay70
Runs over and waves from the sunny North East.
Its lovely to talk to you, we all seem to ramble about different things, so no more talking about boring us all!
Welcome to the flock!
Love and hugs

It works by clicking on the private message and you will be able to e-mail that person direct. you get an e-mail to tell you someone has sent you a private message and a place to click on to read it , easy peasy.
