Tutorial How to send a personal message / private conversation

You can easily send private messages to anyone on the forum. I just helped Chuck make a video showing how to do it, and I'm afraid my mischievous side may have come out a bit as I sent a few too many messages to him, trying to catch him off guard. Here's the video:

How do I send a private message?
A. All logged in users have the capability to send private messages to other members. To do this simply click on the the "Inbox" tab located in the top right of the screen.

Add the participants you wish to message in the "Participants" field, and type your message in the message box. To send click on the "Start Private Conversation" button.
