Hi Colin
Welcome to Rootschat

We have a personal message (pm) system but new members have to make 2 or 3 posts to activate it.
If you reply to this, you can then have a go.
To send a personal message, click on the green scroll under the avatar of the person you want to send a message to. If the scroll is bright gree, it means they are currently online. The system will then open up for you to type and send your message.
