How do you send private messages to other TechRepublic members? The "Send a Private Message" link for other members is not available to me.

Your TR user account profile profile allows you to prevent others from sending you a private message. You probably just wanted to send a message to someone who has blocked private messages.

To send a private message, two requirements must be met. First, you must be logged in. Second, the person you wish to send to must have private messaging enabled (any user can disable this option at will).

As an aside, members are limited to sending 10 private messages a day (a measure to prevent abuse). In the event we uncover members sending spam messages through this feature, private messaging privileges are rescinded.

Your account does not have any such restrictions placed on it, so it sounds like you're trying to send to a member who has blocked private messages.

If they offer me sippin' whiskey and sci-fi movies, I'll answer their private messages.

Usually I just give a brief answer, unless it is one of the "Well Known 100."
