Hiya!

You can't unfortunately. And neither can Richelle. Not yet! Private Messages are restricted to members who qualify for "Respected" Status - achieved through having been on the forum for some time and accrued at least 75 posts + 150 of what are called "reputation" points. Obviously, the longer you've been here ... and the more you post ... the greater the opportunity to earn points and become a 'Respected Member' - especially where other members find the content useful.

But you can exchange 'Visitors' Messages' on one another's profile pages.

sorry for intruding the thread but how do we able to look how much reputation we get aside from the notification being send to us in inbox ..is it in profile that we can just click and count how much we have for a reputation??

*That's OK. Well ... alongside a member's avatar [if he/she has one] in the top left-hand corner of each of their posts - and underneath his/her 'User Name' - you'll see one or more green blobs. You already have three of those.

In the early stages, these blobs generally - though not always - increase each time one member awards another, what's referred to as "reputation" ... depending on the number of points a post attracts by virtue of its content. Later on ... once a member has attained 5 dark green blobs ... further reputation accrued will show-up in a new 1 to 5 series, designated by a lighter green shade.

And so on ... culminating in a similarly-numbered series of yellow (ish) coloured symbols.

As you know, whenever you receive a reputation comment, it will appear under 'Notifications' ... top right of the page on the navy background. Click 'Settings' to view the respective comment and the number of points you've accumulated.
