A “PM” is a **Personal** Message, NOT A PRIVATE MESSAGE. **PM’s are not provided for regular users.**** The PM feature is available only to those with administrative capacity.** To send a PM, click on your avatar, then click on the envelope icon, then click on the New Message button. Follow the prompts.

Note: PM’s on this site will have a light green palette around them, distinguishing a PM from a regular post which is displayed publicly to all users.
