Hi ChromeStar

Near the top of most every page is a blue menu bar. "User CP" is the Control Panel. Private Message choices are in the left column of the CP.

Dunno about the birthday, and supposedly a Senior is anyone over 100 posts, so certainly anyone with more posts than you should be one too?

First, make sure you've enabled private messaging in your User CP.

I see you have it disabled at this time. Click on User CP, then Edit Options, then check the appropriate boxes under the Messaging & Notification section.

If you wish to send PMs to other users, you may do so by these means:
  • Click on a user's name from one of their posts, select View Public Profile; provided they have their PMs enabled, you should be able to PM them by clicking the appropriate link on the right-hand side.
  • From your User CP, with private messaging enabled, click on the Send New Message option on the left-hand side under Private Messaging... enter the recipient's username.

You may do one of two things...
  • If you wish to enter your date of birth, do so from your User CP by clicking on Edit Profile and filling out the boxes under Birth Date.
  • If you do not wish to make your birthday known, simply select the empty fields from the pull-down menus under Month and Day, leave your birth year blank, and (in either case) click Save Changes down at the bottom.

A couple of possibilities might be attriubutable here due to the merge. I wouldn't worry about it personally, but if it's a matter of serious concern, please send Fraser an email for assistance.

Hope this helps, if you have any other problems, please let us know.

As new commer, I truly enjoy reading all posted comments. However, when we are
new at anything, it takes some time to learn the language being used.

I have a lot of interest, questions, ideas, so on and so on! I am about ready to
get into this forum of babble and bla-bla-bla! Talk to ya all very soon!

A new friend (I hope) "SearlesGold"
