Responding to private messages

YetAnotherDeb · 04-30-21, 07:54 PM

It’s been a heckuva few days and my brain has apparently shut down. How in the world do I respond to a private message? I can’t figure it out. A simple “reply” button doesn’t seem to be an option.

For messages the only option is to type in the Quick Reply box. It's already filled with a quote of the message you're replying to, so you need to either find the end of that to start typing or delete it and then type. I ran into the same thing recently when I got a PM after more than a year since I last had. I wanted the Reply button.

I usually just put some text in the Quick Reply box. If you click the Go Advanced button instead, there's a Preview of the message way at the top, and Send New Private Message just below that.

Can you see any of those options when you click on the message you want reply to?

The quick reply did the trick. Thank you!
