Hi @SHAN-Dubai ,

Thanks for sharing with us! : ]

Regarding your inquiry, the icon highlighted would lead to private messages as well as acting as an indicator for the amount received messages from other Local Guides. (therefore the button should be available to use for every Local Guides)

For further remarks on the matter, do feel free to check out the handy post Tip: Sending a private message.

Do feel free to check on your end if the option is operational, do feel free to share your thoughts on the matter if needed.

Hi @SHAN-Dubai

I have just sent you a Message on the inbox, for you to see how it works.

The inbox is where are archived the private messages sent to you in Connect.

The Private messaging system is built to give the possibility to the Local Guides to a private communication, without knowing any other way to contact them (email etc.)

In this way you can communicate with other Local Guides while respecting their privacy.

How to send a private message:

From the Local Guide profile: Scroll the profile down until you reach: “Send this user a private message”. Click on there and type your message

From the inbox:

  • Click on the email symbol that appear when you click on your avatar
  • Click on “New Message”
  • add the username of the Local Guide you want to write to
  • Add the subject on the “subject” field
  • Type your text
  • Send the message

A copy of the message will sent to your email. Please note that the email is sent from a noreply address. It means that you cannot reply to the message from your email. You will have to reply from the message on the inbox

Much appreciated for the feedback!

Also I just wanted to let you know that the reply from ermest would be accepted as Solution, providing in depth as well as experiment towards the matter, should it come in handy for other Local Guides with similar inquiry.
