  • Reply to Private Message?

    How does one reply to a message in the inbox? I don't see any way to reply except to send a new message.

    If it is a private message, at the top right of your screen click MESSAGES > GO TO MESSAGE CENTER

    In the MESSAGE CENTER click on INBOX

    Click on the MESSAGE you want to respond to and you have access to responding as normal.

    Here's an example (I hope ClarkR4 doesn't mind I'm using his note as an example!):

      Howard, I do not have the box below the message allowing a response or adding attachments. Just the message appears. I'm using MS Edge browser.

        GDRV-Tom -- see thread above and Kim's last response to me. Any idea?

        Chiefblueman -- can you try a different browser as a test? (I use Chrome.)

          Here is what I have found. When you go to the message center to read the message , if the reply box does not come up , click on the subject as seen in this picture. This will open up the message and allow one to have the response box.

            Exactly--you have to select the message (click on it) to make it active and have a response box. Kind of like looking at your email in your inbox--you can read the preview messages but can't respond until you click on an email to make it active. I hope that makes some sense...

              Thanks Brian! Even though there supposedly are no stupid questions, I think mine was perilously close.

                No stupid questions allowed here (haha). There is a learning curve to this new thingy , I am learning from each question that is asked , and have many of my own questions answered.
                All good though.
