How long must you be a member to have e-mail privalidges? :)
The little comic strip word box below your forum name is for personal messages--the e-mail within the forum. Is that what you mean?
If so just click on the word box and you can address messages same as any other e-mail. The envelope will give you e-mail. Until you have an e-mail envelope below your name just click on whome you want that has one.
When I do i get: You can not send e-mail.
if it's a member, don't try to send email. try the personal message (PM). that should go though. some members don't even list email addresses for public use.
