    It is probably right in front of me and I don't see it. Where do I go to post a private message?

    Dave - click on the avatar or name, then "Start a Conversation". Probably another lower priority to-do item for Charlie and the staff to rename

    Thank you Rick.
    I used that feature the other day and my message is being displayed for all to view. Not very private.

    At upper right, near page top, can you see your user name? "Inbox" should be right next to it. That is your PM link.

    Like what Boxcab said. Also note that when creating a conversation (what the software calls 'em) you can select whether or not to allow others to join in later.

    Conversations in Profiles are not private. Anyone logged in can read them.

    Thanks Ken. With the exact same terminology ("start a conversation") I didn't realize that one was PM while the other was Profile Post.

    Right, right, right...
