How do you send a dm on this forum?
It looks like this forum is made from Discourse and there does not seem to be a dm button.
@thedavid
- Go to a topic
- Scroll down through replies and find someone you need to DM.
- Click on their username. Soft box pops up and click “Message”
Hey, welcome!
Why do you want this functionality? I think it’s probably intentionally not enabled, but if you share your use case, maybe we can get the core team to enable it.
This should be enabled. It may be a restriction based on user level.
Yeah, @WroundBrown - its restricted since you are a new user and have trust level 0.
From Understanding Discourse Trust Levels
Users at trust level 0 cannot …
- Send personal messages to other users
- “Reply as new topic” via Link button (UI removed)
- Flag posts
- Post more than 1 image
- Post any attachments
- Post more than 2 hyperlinks in a post
- Have actual links in the ‘about me’ field of their profile (will be silently and temporarily converted to plain text)
- Mention more than 2 users in a post
- Post more than 3 topics
- Post more than 10 replies
- Edit their own posts after more than 24 hours
Trust Level 1 – Basic
At Discourse, we believe reading is the most fundamental and healthy action in any community. If a new user is willing to spend a little time reading, they will quickly be promoted to the first trust level.
Get to trust level 1 by…
- Entering at least 5 topics
- Reading at least 30 posts
- Spend a total of 10 minutes reading posts
ah, makes sense 
didn’t know we could do that!
