I'm C. I. (comp. illiterate). Thought I'm sending a guy a PM about our basic interest and it appeared publicly in a thread. Are "conversations" the forum's means to PMs? Thanks! mo.
Not if sent as a "conversation". You can start a conversation a couple of different ways - the easiest is the click on the member's screen name and when in the window showing the member's profile select the "start a conversation" -- it doesn't appear like a hperlink but it is one. Another way is to click on inbox (top right of the page), click on "start a conversation" and then fill in the blanks for member, subject and what you want to say.
