How the hell do you send messages to another member? This software sucks. Definately not intuitive. If something doesn't change soon or some info isn't made available I see it going down hill quick. Postings are way down already. We need some tutorials or something. Just my two bits.

Click on the member's name-you'll see a box of info-click on "start a conversation" and go for it.

Good but do we have to scroll through and find where the member has made a post?

 

[Nightwatch]

Seems like it, since only the long-timers are listed when you click on members above. I just search for the post I remember in search function and click their name off that. Different, but if I can do it, you can do it. I hate "improvements"...my boys all laugh at me all the time.

Not necessarily. In my opinion, this is NOT an improvement only a detriment to existing members. I can live with change, but we need a tutorial thread or at least some way to navigate around rather than "discovery".

Where's your sense of adventure?

Oh my Charlie! A lady at work calls me grumpus maximus, what should we call you?

From ANY page on TGT, hover the cursor over your avatar near the upper right and after a second or 2 your profile will pop up. Slide down to the 2nd item on the right and click Conversations. Or you can click the avatar which will open the Your Account page including Conversations commands on the left. You can also click Your Account below SUPPORT & HELP at the bottom of any page. There is a learning curve but the fundamentals are the similar.

Now, grab a beer and send me those dirty pictures you've been saving.

PS: Start a New Conversation = PM

Too many Duvels. You can also search to find a member.

Don't you have an envelope icon in the upper righthand corner of your screen? If so, click on it and select 'Start a New Conversation.' It's that easy...

It is easy to search for a member, see the MEMBERS tab at the top of the page?

And as others have "start a conversation" is the new PM.

Chill, bro.

All this is part of thinning the digital herd....

 

[Charlie]

Everything is easy, if you've done it or have access on how to do it

Some cut the trail, most of us just follow...that's what it is.

Classic! Go for it!

I'm just glad my boys aren't on here-they laugh me out about my "computer skills"(and I don't care.)

 

[Charlie]

But, but ............. can they do simple math without a calculator or computer?

 

[Nightwatch]

That's a damn GOOD POINT! Nor can they run a circuit, nor solder up a water supply, nor clear a drain, nor troubleshoot and repair appliances.

MOST of 'em today can't get away from the compooters and I (idiot)pads long enough to learn from us old dummies who've been doing all that stuff for them...when we're gone....they'll pay through the schnozz to get someone to (half)do it FOR them. What we learned the hard way is going down the drain when we go.
