I have noticed that when trying to reply to a private message the response will not send...the only way to reply is to send a new private message.

    hey, I am going to raise some cain on this issue as well. No longer is there a scroll list of gulchers. How can I send a private message if I I can't click on their name (which means they've recently contributed)? do we not get it?

      When you click on the Private Message button, the user's name should pre-populate the To field. Is this not happening? What browser are you using?

        I used to have a private message button under my name when I clicked on it. If I click on a member's name showing up on the right side, I see I can message them. However, if they are not signed in or on the daily, weekly totals,how do I message them?

          Great point. We'll have to give that one some thought. You can always just type their username in search or your address bar (e.g. galtsgulchonline.com/khalling) but, that's not really a solution but rather a work around.

          I've got an idea. I'll get back to you.

              The old system attached itself to the "Submit Post" button in the upper right hand corner of every page. It was obtrusive and unintuitive.

                um, I sent private messages then and now I can only send private messages to posters showing up regularly. my interest in private messaging , for the most part, is to "poke" those who I enjoy their commentary and haven't seen in awhile. if we were invited to meetings once in awhile instead of being observed, this would be obvious to you guys. I hate meetings lol

                  Sending the messages was not obtrusive and unintuitive - the actual button itself was the problem.

                  Check it out now. We've put it back in and made it a little less ugly. Click on the arrow right next to the "Submit Post" button in the upper right.

                  Let me know.
