What is your profile name here? I’m trying to message you but it isn’t recognizing the name I type in. I first typed in Roger and then typed in @bluebirdfan2011 but it can’t find anyone with that name. The message option here is not the easiest. I want to give you a way to contact me but I really don’t want it on here for everyone to see. But I think I could just give you it and delete it once you see it. I may do that.

Off Topic. Thanks, David for help with IMGUR. It looks like I didn’t do it quite right or it wouldn’t have “Bottom Text” written on it. Any thoughts?
Tammy
I’m sorry Tammy but the messaging area you so nicely highlighted above does not show up for me.
I’m pretty sure messaging is somehow not enabled for my account.
My account name is BluebirdFan2011.
I understand wanting to remain anonymous on the public forum, I would like to do that too.
In any case, I am having no problems right now and my bluebird couple are incubating their 5 (!) eggs. Still, it would be nice to have a bluebird pen pal for any issues that may arise.
Thanks again.
Roger, the messaging feature is oddly implemented, as Tammy indicated. Do you see “Your Cafe Mailbox” above “Search Forums”? And there you should see the Welcome, and below that a notification of unread messages. In my case the notification is “You have 0 messages unread” and 0 messages is a link. Clicking on that link opens a page where you theoretically might compose a message.
Tammy, it seems the only username that is found is yours, tamsea. Roger’s username, bluebirdfan2011, is also not found for me. I tried some other usernames from other threads, and they are all not found as well. I suspect usernames for the owner and other moderators would probably be found, but I didn’t know any of these to test. At any rate, I would be this is a privileges setting for participants.

AIH I don’t think it’s working anymore. Members used to contact me that way but haven’t in awhile. I’ll ask Cher if she knows what is up. Even when it was working it was awkward and hard to find people so I don’t know if it’s even worth having. But I’ll ask Cher about it.

Tammy, I just sent you a test message to see if it is working. On my end, it showed processing and then message successfully sent.
FWIW I think it isn’t straightforward when figuring it out the first time, but after that it isn’t difficult. I know there is a user setting to allow or not allow private messages, but in my case it appears this is on by default. When I tested before, I tried several users just in case there might be some who turned their setting to off. Anyway, if it worked it wouldn’t be that hard for everyone to use it.
