I thought for the benefit of some of our new members, I would explain a little about Visitor Messages (VMs). If you click on your user name, you will be taken to your User Page. There, if you have elected to allow for VMs, other members can leave messages for you. These messages can be viewed by anyone, even non-members, and even when you are not logged in. They are not private, like a Private Message (PM) is.
If you get a VM and want to respond, you must click View Conversation in the lower right hand of the VM you wish to respond to. Then you will be taken to another screen, which displays all of the VMs between you and that member. You type your message there, and then hit Post Message. The message will then be posted on that member's page. If you receive a VM that you want to respond to, but you don't click View Conversation, then your message will just be posted on your own page and the person you were responding to will not be aware of it or get your message.
HTH some of our new members get around a little easier.
