1. Go to the Memberlist located in Navigation Bar at the top of the page, or
2. Click the "Profile" Button under each members posts.
Some of the new updates include being able to message the person, which will be able to be seen by everyone on the boards. That is the main difference between this and private messages, which can not be seen by any other members.

1. Go to their profile
2. Click the "Visitor Message" option at the top of the page.
3. Click the "New Topic" button at the top of the page.
There is also the option of contacting the person, also located at the top of the page.
