Private Messaging (PM)
You can now communicate with PakWheelers without ever leaving the site!
Simply click on My PakWheels > "Send a Message" (under "Private Messages" on left bar)
...and submit your PM:
You can view the mails in your PM inbox by going to My PakWheels > List Message or click the Inbox link on the top of the page:
The inbox looks like this:
Whenever a PM arrives in your PakWheels inbox, you'll be sent an email notification as well:
This is a great way to communicate especially when you don't want to expose your e-mail address.
Contacts List
This allows you to maintain a list of users you contact often via PM. Once a person is added to your Contacts list, you can send a message by clicking on Quick Links at the top of any page, then Open Contacts Popup. This will also allow you to see which of your Contacts are currently online.
To add users to your Contacts list:
1. Go to the user's profile by clicking on their username. Click User Lists (located below the username) > Add to Contacts.
-Or-
2. Click on the Forums tab > Community > Contacts > Add a Member to your list.
This is a nice way to gather all your PakWheels buddies together in one list.
You can also choose to restrict your receipt of PMs to users on your Contact list. To do this, go to User CP > Edit Options > Private Messaging and check the box to indicate "Receive Private Messages only from Contacts and Moderators." Alternatively, you can add unwanted users to your ignore list by accessing My PakWheels > Edit Ignore List.
Members Directory
And of course, you all know about Members Directory located under the Community sub-tab. You can browse/search through the entire list of PakWheels members and easily find your friends.
