For those who are new or haven't sent a private message in a while, here are the basic steps:
1. Underneath the CAY banner you will see Board Index and under that you see User Control Panel (x new messages) and View your posts. ~ x being the number of messages you haven't read.
2. Click on (x new messages). It will take you to your private message inbox.
3. You will see a button that says "New PM". Click it and you can write a private message to whomever you choose.
4. Click on Find a member and a new window will pop up. Scroll down and choose from the list who you would like to send the message to.
Good luck! If you run into any problems feel free to ask away.
