Title: How to Send Personal Messages (PMs) on the Forums
Post by: Zero on July 23, 2015, 04:57:08 PM
Greetings, everyone!

For those of you who might not know me, I'm Zero, one of the global moderators in the main moderating team.

This is a guide for those who are new to the Friends of Comic-Con community or to online forums in general.  I've been wanting to write a help guide like this for a long time, so here it is! ^__^


YOU NEED A FORUM ACCOUNT TO SEND A PM.  If you did not register for a forum account, you will not be able to send a PM.

What are personal messages (or, "PMs" for short)?
For the purposes of our forum community, PMs, or personal messages, can be very important in joining badge-buying groups for different conventions, contacting forum members for hotel or roommate requests, keeping in touch with fellow forum members throughout the year, or asking others for help in a more private and discreet manner.


QUICK METHOD

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.




ALTERNATE METHOD #1
This is alternate method #1 to PM someone on the forums, specifically for when you are on the person's actual profile page. 
In reality, only the first three (3) steps are different from the "Quick Method," but I wrote all of the steps for the sake of completion.

ALTERNATE METHOD #2
This is alternate method #2 to PM someone on the forums, specifically for when you are NOT on the person's profile page, or if you do NOT see the person's username in a thread.

In reality, only the first two (2) steps are different from the "Quick Method," but I wrote all of the steps for the sake of completion.

Again, if you want to send a PM to more than one person, please check out this post below: http://friendsofcc.com/forum/index.php?topic=5361.msg129857#msg129857 (http://friendsofcc.com/forum/index.php?topic=5361.msg129857#msg129857)



Hope that helps!  Thanks for reading.  ^__~

That's it! ^__^d  The rest of the process (type your subject and message) is the same as the methods listed above in the previous post.
