This might be an obvious question, but how do you send PMs? I’ve seen it mentioned several times, even in the FAQ, but I can’t find anywhere that tells you how to do it and I can’t find a button for it anywhere on a user’s page or anywhere else.

All you have to do is click on someone’s name which will cause a little pop up to appear, and click on “message”.

I don’t have that button, is there something I need to have done on the forum first? I only just registered today

Oh, sorry about that. Yeah, as a new member you wont be able to send private messages right away.
Once you do these 3 simple things you’ll have the option though…
- Entering at least 5 topics
- Reading at least 30 posts
- Spend a total of 10 minutes reading posts

Yes this PM rule is tricky, you do have to read a little bit to get the ability to PM. We do this so people can’t grief others by signing up and immediately sending a bunch of PMs.
(I mean, there are also definitely posting rate limits on new users but it would still be annoying if someone joined and then immediately sent “only” 3 PMs.)

So this may be a limitation of Chrome, but I use GBoard keyboard on my Android phone, and am currently unable to pop gifs straight from there like I do in other social applications.
This is horrible. I saw a yo-yo I want and signed up to send a PM to the person and an hour later while trying to figure out how to send a PM, I stumble on this. Why on God’s green earth would this be a good idea? Is this really a common problem?

It’s kinda like seatbelts in cars. It is a bit more restrictive, but the safety benefits are enormous. Just spend a little bit of time reading and you’ll earn the ability to send PMs.
