    There are two ways you can do it - if you are looking at a post of theirs, click on their profile image:

    upload_2024-3-17_12-56-49.png

    Then choose Start a conversation:

    upload_2024-3-17_12-57-57.png

    OR, go to the top of the page (any page), click on Inbox:

    upload_2024-3-17_12-59-1.png

    And on the drop down, select Start a conversation:

    upload_2024-3-17_13-1-2.png

    Once you do that, you will need to put the person's username in:

    upload_2024-3-17_13-2-16.png

    You can have a private conversation with a number of people all in the one chat.

      It is all new to you, don't worry - everyone is finding things different and a bit odd, but you will get the swing of things before long. We're here to help too.

      @Carole Kratzke it's different terminology on here, plus layout is not the same.

      You will get the hang of it. Just ask if you need help

        @Carole Kratzke , hang on a minute or two, and then look at the top of the screen, next to your name. Click on "Inbox"

        @Jacquiscrap I already get teased about being English - I'm British but they can't grasp the difference - especially when the royals are in the news or when Boris was about and they never miss about sports. Lots of the other clients are sporty themselves - hence their injuries.

        @Tui34 OH is out a golf club St Patrick's day - round of golf followed by fish and chips with Guinness. Chief physio not playing as he's busy but was surprised when I told him fish and chips are not traditional Irish fare.

            Yeh Obelixx most folks seem to struggle with the notion of being “British “ not being the same as being “English “. That and assuming you know every French person who has ever gone to work in London!
