Sending Private Messages
As a member of the forum, you can send private messages to other members. This is just like e-mail, but the message won't be sent to a different location.

How do I display this window?

• Press at 'Messages', located in the upper toolbar
• Press at 'Compose', located in the extra toolbar

Before you can send a message, you need to login or signup first.

Message
Type a clear description as title of the message. Next, you can enter your message. Before you post the message, it might be useful to look at the result, by pressing the 'Preview' button. This is quite useful when you're quoting people, use markup or smileys.

Smileys
Smileys (or emoticons) are used by many people at the internet to express a fealing or emotion in a part of text. Mostly the characters ;) and :( are used (rotate your head to the left). This forum replaced common used smileys by real images, which is much cooler and less difficult to understand. Those special expressions can be added aswell by pressing the smiley at the special markup toolbar.

Markup
Experienced users might like it to add markup to their posts. This markup won't be added right away, but codes are being inserted. These codes will later be replaced by the real markup.
More Info: Markup Samples.

Save a copy
If you check this option, a copy of the message will be put in the "Sent Messages" folder. Then, you can view the message later again, and forward it.

Other Possibilities for sending messages
You're not forced to send messages in this particular way. You can also reply, quote or forward a received message. The buttons for those actions are located at the bottom of each message. Simply press the button for that specific message.
