Is there still the option to private message the poster?

Quick answer: no, it’s been disabled “for legal reasons”.

Here’s couple of related threads with further discussion.

How do I Reply to a User?

We do not allow private messages on the new platform.

OT: Questions about new site

Sorry, legal wants it all closed down. We offered up the opt in idea a while back but no go.

Please provide a way to contact our peers off TMF

As I’ve said in a few other posts, the messaging is inactive for legal reasons. I’ve seen the same pop up though - it seems as though if you reply to the same person multiple times (perhaps in the same thread), the system throws that pop-up at you, suggesting that you message that person instead. It appears to be a bug that it still shows up even with messaging deactivated so I’ll be reporting it to the platform folks.

Is there a way to send private messages to other board members? Iuckily I had some old mails from Jim but I would like to contact some other board members as well.

Raylight, you are a font of knowledge. Thanks

Thanks KC, that’s encouraging. These boards (or the old ones) are a gold mine - or have been. Trying to give back and help out where I can. Sadly, my outlook for this great community is getting bleaker and bleaker, which is discouraging. A vicious circle.
