Gentlemen, how do I write to a member of the forum privately?
Thank You.
Private messaging used to be disabled for years, then it got enabled some months ago, and recently it got disabled again.
There is a way to exchange contact information using “public key cryptography”, where you post your public key in a regular topic and the other user can use it to encrypt his contact information and post in in a response; you will be the only one able to decipher that data using your private key. For more details see this post.
Or you may make your own contact information visible to all users using your User Control Panel if that suits you better.
