Reply directly to a member?

You can check their profile for contact info by clicking on the name. If none is listed reply to the post. Or both. 

If not listed in their post, you can obtain their e-mail (if they listed their email and selected the display option) from their profile page.  When you are logged in, click that person's name to get to their profile page.  The email address is located at the bottom of the right side column of the member's profile page.

Obviously, if no email is listed in their profile you must communicate via their forum thread posting.

It would be nice if you could just click on their avatar and would open your email client with their email address already filled in.

I was trying to start a dialog with a few members as my interests were pretty specific to Hiawatha trains.  I got a message that I did not have permission to  include those members in a dialog.  What did I do wrong.  I can just create a new thread and see if those members find it, but I thought this would be easier.

Are the members your are trying to communicate with also Premium Members? if not, That's why you are getting the errors.

Private Messaging is only available to Digital Subscribers/Premium Members.

That would explain it.  They are not premium members……...

Thanks for the information

I'm a Hiawatha nut and my email is in my profile.
