Wanted to send privately as I saw your post. The thread was from '08.
To send a private message, go to the top and click on private messages. Like email, type in who you want to send it to using the posters name, fill in the subject line, type the message and hit send.
When you receive a reply to that either click the link from your email notification or come here to the board and click private messages to read the message.
Hope this isn't confusing how I tried to explain it.
