Just discovered the forum and want to buy from someone but can't see a DM button to contact them anywhere.

Post

go to your 'account settings' (upper left/click on your user name) . 'board preferences' and enable direct messaging.

then when you want to DM someone just click on their name/alias/avatar whatever and if they have DMs enabled you'll see where you can send them a DM.

I think a minimum of 5 posts is required.
You now made one, so only 4 more to go...

PS: a reply to an existing topic counts as well!

The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding.

Ohhhhh do replies to topics count? I thought i was going to have to make 5 separate topics...

I realised I did in fact have some questions to ask so they didn't end up being fully random :)

It's private message, not direct message. PM, not DM.

Welcome Amorr. Hope you’re able to buy what you’re after.

You’re just showing your age. Nobody is sliding into anyone’s PMs. They slide into DMs.

But, yeah, here it’s private messaging instead of direct messaging.

Not just here, everywhere. :) I frankly dunno where that DM thing is coming from. Always confuses the hell out of me, because I always forget what it's supposed to mean.
