Use private messaging

Do you need to contact another Weavolutionary directly?  Maybe you want to respond to an item in the For Sale or Trade forum, but don't want the whole world to see it?  Or do you want a private conversation with someone you met in the Chat! forum?  It's easy to send a private message in Weavolution.

From the Weavolution home page, click on Messages from the menu on the left side of the screen.  In this example, the (1) after Messages means there is 1 unread message.

 

Reading a message

You'll be taken to the screen to view your messages.  If there are no messages, you'll see "no messages to display"; otherwise, you'll see a list of all the messages (read and unread) in your in-box.  Unread messages are bolded.  Click on the subject to read it.

Now you can read the message.  To reply, just start typing in the text box and click on

Deleting a message

Similar to the forums, private messages are treated like conversations.  You will see all replies within this conversation here.  Currently there's no way to delete and entire conversation.  Instead, you must delete each message in the conversation by clicking on the Delete message link.

Sending a new message

On the main Messages page, the second tab is Write new message.  Select it if you want to send a new message to someone.

In the To: field, enter all or part of the name of the person you want to message.  You will be given a list of usernames to select from.  If you want to send the message to multiple people, type a comma and the next user name.  Then it's just like email:  enter a subject and the body of the message, then click on .

Finding messages you sent

Are you having trouble remembering if you sent a message to someone?  Rather than wading through all your messages, just click on the Sent messages tab.  This tab contains all conversations that you originated or replied to.
