How do i send a new message private pls
 

I can reply to messages sent to me but cant see how I start a new one ?

If you click on a person's username a drop box should come down and one option should be send private message xx

Thank you, have a great day

Or alternatively go to User CP and there's a drop down on the left where you will find send new private message.

Thank you, think I sent it in visitor message
