The forum software has a direct messaging feature built in, however it refers to this as a "Conversation"

Select the envelope icon next to your avatar at the top of the page to open the inbox.
From there select "Start a new Conversation"
Enter the recipients username, when you start typing the system will generate a shortlist for you.
Fill in the rest of the info and send off your message.

You can do this directly in a thread you're viewing.
Click on someones username and you'll see a menu and some info appear.
From there select "Start a new Conversation"

Conversation permissions are tiered.

Hi Stu, I have used the private messaging ("Start a new Conversation"). It works great. The only thing I would like is the ability to see the complete conversations I have carried on with someone. When I Start a new Conversation again with the same person I previously have, the prior conversations do not seem to be viewable. Am I missing something or is there away to view the whole conversation threads I have had privately with someone? DaBull

A new conversation is just that, a new thread, like a new email chain if you like. To continue with a prior conversation you need to select a conversation that you want to continue and reply to the last message, even if it was from yourself.

To see all your conversations to date, then click on the envelope icon and at the bottom of the dropdown menu is a "show all" button, select that and you'll see your history.
