You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
I know this has probably been covered before, but I can’t find it! I have seen something I want to buy in the classifieds, how do I send a PM to the seller letting him know?!
It comes and goes. Not sure if it is working at the moment. Click on the user name then within their profile there should be a message option. It's much easier on desktop than mobile.
Thanks Nick-I’ll try it on the PC rather than my phone and see if I have any luck. It’s very frustrating!
Looked on my PC and can’t seem to find a way of sending a message on there either? Am I being thick, or is it not currently working? Any help gratefully received!
Thanks

Click on the user name, then there should be an envelope icon. Click that to message. I have just sent you a PM (maybe) to test it
EDIT: Just checked in the classifieds and it is different for some reason. Does look like you can't message from there but you can from here.
There isn't a link directly from the Classifieds (or wasn't last time I looked), it's in STW's bug tracker so is a known issue on the to-do list. In the meantime you can send PMs from the main forum if you manually go to https://singletrackmag.com/user/ [username]
But how do I read my PMs? I have an envelope with a red circle with 2 in it. Clicking on it doesn't take me to any messages.
My envelope takes me to my messages. Sent from Drac's iPad. No, actually it does work OK for me
url is https://singletrackmag.com/user/myusername/?profiletab=messages&conversation&conversation_id=102796
so maybe swap "myusername" for your user name
Ah. If you're URL hacking, you'll need to replace the space in the username with a + symbol. Ie,
https://singletrackmag.com/user/mister+p/?profiletab=messages
Spaces in usernames are causing a number of weird effects. I wouldn't at all be surprised if they went away as a valid option sooner rather than later, a bulk rename would be an easier fix than quashing multiple compatibility quirks now and with future plugins and new features.
Clicking on it doesn’t take me to any messages.
Where does it take you?
I was wondering that earlier that if it’s only broken for users with a space in their name, I meant to ask the OP but fell asleep. 😂
Ah ha, thanks Cougar. Putting a + in works. Without that it takes me to my user profile page instead.
@Cougar- thanks a lot for posting. I have tried via your link and managed to send a message! Thanks for helping out the IT illiterate!

No probs.
I'm told that a "PM from classifieds" link has been added but it's in the next release of the site which hasn't gone live yet. So this at least should be sorted very soon now hopefully.
The "spaces in usernames" thing is a much wider-reaching issue, a fix is in testing but it's not assigned to a codebase release as yet.
