I'm new to the message boards and have just noticed that I am not entering the details properly. How do I show a link to me for a message? I was just putting my name at the bottom of the reply. Terry Stewart

Do you mean you are replying to a thread and wonder how someone gets back to you? This can be done either by someone doing a reply on the thread(as I,m doing now) OR PM you direct by clicking on your name,but that reply wont show up on the thread

What Terry is probably worried about is that when he looks at a thread, his name isn't underlined and clickable. That's normal, Terry - we can all click on your name but you can't, because you won't be needing to send a message to yourself.

If anyone wants to email you direct they can click on your name. It doesnt look like a link to you but it does to everyone else. However, it is best really to add to a thread rather than ask people to p.m. you as it gives everyone else the chance to see how the query is progressing and to add their info.
