Which is the best way to send a private message (PM) on CF? Is 'Conversation' the PM means of interaction?

When you see a post, click on the person's screen name and a box will pop up. Click "start a conversation", and that will send them a PM.
So you are correct, conversation is the same as PM here for this forum coding.
I have the same problem. I don't see Start a conversation once I see the box of the profileWhen you see a post, click on the person's screen name and a box will pop up. Click "start a conversation", and that will send them a PM.

Oh that is weird. There's no such box when i click on someone's profile maybe because I'm new? But thanks for the help!Yoan,
When I clicked on your name, Yoan, to the left of your post, this dialogue box came up. Here's a Print Screen of it on my PC:

See the link, 'Start a Conversation'. This is what will come up when you click on the name of the person with whom you want to start a conversation (on CFcom this is the equivalent of a PM). Then you can start the conversation you want.
All the best,
Oz
Yeah there is no such thing on mine. maybe it's cause I'm new?Where are you speaking of? You won't see the option to PM someone in a forum. You can go to that person's profile, and start a conversation with them from there... or you can go to your conversations and click the big blue rectangle that says "Start a New Conversation"

I love your Fall pics!!! It is my favorite time of year.
I can do it now! To only some people still not everyone haha it's okay. Thankssss God bless!Surely staff who are reading this thread should be able to clarify it or fix it for you. I'll engage in a 'Conversation' with one of them to see why you have no access to 'Start a Conversation'.

Why don't you interact with one of the staff to determine why you can't 'Start a Conversation' with anyone?
Blessings,

If the member you are trying to PM (conversation) has there preference set so their personal profile is private; you will not be able to post conversations to them; unless they follow you.
Now would you please inform me how to set the preference on my personal profile so that it is not private so that the conversations can take place? Your statement assumes I know how to do that. I don't know (although for me it is fixed from a previous interaction on CF).
For the benefit of newbies, please explain how to avoid setting it to 'private'.

In your personal profile under privacy make sure all the boxes are checked; depending on who you want to be able to send you conversations (PMs) all visitors, members only, or only those you follow:
