Just want to let people know the distinction between these two forms of message. Profile posts are not private and appear on the member profile for all to see - the latest 6 profile posts also appear in the sidebar on the main forum screen, so if you are wrtiting a message to someone that you wish to be confidential, don't use a profile post. I'd prefer not to have them at all since I don't think they serve any useful purpose here - maybe they do on other types of forum - however, they can't easily be removed.

If you want to send a private message to someone use the 'Inbox' button on the upper right of your screen. This will give you a list of any existing private message you may have - private messages are called 'conversations' now. If you want to send a new private message to someone then select 'Start a new conversation' button 🙂

Any questions, please let me know! 🙂
