How to pm a member

Click on someone’s username. Once it goes to their profile, remove the “forum.” from the URL, and it will take you to their marketplace profile, and there will be an option to message them from there. Hopefully moderators see this and add the message button to peoples’ forum profiles!

Actually, Admin changed it recently, making it easier by using less steps. Just left click on the users name and in the drop down box, Message User is the last listed.

unreal.

if you do pm a member, you can not do the following as the filter audiogon uses will block it:

can’t send links / or email address

can’t use the word : phone, email, call

@soix  It was hard for me, too. Suggestions here are good.

If you want to send a link or email, spell things phonetically. So, if you have gmail, write something like, "you can electronically reach me at bobat geemail" and tell your recipient to convert it back to normal when they actually write you.

which is pretty much what i said

@riley804 You told people the problem, what they can’t do. I gave them the solution. More than a few people I’ve PM’d with didn’t know what to do. That’s why I’m explaining it here. We make a good team!

i think the whole thing of this is ridiculous, regarding what words  you cant use when sending a pm to someone and i have gone around and around with tammy on this.             the reason is they are trying to stop off line transactions from happening, which i get.....but just as you mentioned, how hard is it to simply space out the email address and the person on the other end can figure it out ?  but they still dont get it.

what is really frustrating is when you pm a member and they say they are looking for a particular something and you know where they can find it, but then  you cant send them the link because the system [ filters ] it.           

even just general chat via pm is a challenge as its so easy to use those words and of course they are filtered and when the other person gets the emai , all they see is [ filter] , [ filter]     .  

@nonoise 

Nice tip, I've been doin' it the old way for years. Thanks.

I totally agree, 1000% 

The notion that a site would block a member from simply telling another member their email or phone number is really beyond the pale. It's a metric of how incompetent this system is.
