If you wish to contact another TBB portal user privately, it is possible to send them an e-mail via the portal. To do this you should click on the 'E-Mail' button located to the bottom right of every forum post.

This will bring up a screen that allows you to fill in:

• your name (real or otherwise)
  
  
• e-mail address (a fake address will not allow the user to reply via e-mail)
  
  
• subject
  
  
• and, your message to that user.
  

Once you've submitted the message, you will be taken back to your default post-login screen.

Another method to contact a portal user is to:

1. Click on the 'User Preferences' link at the bottom of 'Forum' front page (and on some other forum pages as well)
   
   
2. Choose 'Members' from the links across the top
   
   
3. Find the member whom you want to contact
   
   
4. Click 'Profile'
   
   
5. Click 'Send E-Mail'
   

Known problems with either method:

• Your message will be sent to the e-mail address that the user has set under Options/Web Profile. If this address is no longer valid, your message will not be delivered, but you will not receive notification of such.
  
  
• It is possible that the format of the message sent by the Primus e-mail system will trigger the recipient's spam filter resulting in an undeliverable message. Again, you will not know if this happens.
