Hi, I wanted to send one of the Fedora people some info that wasn’t relevant to the thread. Anyhow, I just wanted to send them a DM.

Cannot find anywhere a ‘send DM’ box, nor info on how to!?

I searched through the FAQ, the person’s profile page, my profile page, all the Help Guides I could find. Nowhere can I workout how to send a

Also wondered if sending DMs here is not possible, because I had all of that experience.

Please make it easier to send a DM. If it is NOT possible to send a DM, then please make that Loud & Clear.

Many thanks :slight_smile:

Update:
I found some help here

I was so busy looking through the guides and FAQs, I didn’t think to do a search, sorry.

Okay, I understand from @mattdm 's post, the reasoning.

As a suggestion, could that be posted in the FAQ @hhlp

Thanks!

You need to reach trust level 1 and then you can click on someone’s profile and send them a message.

Brilliant thanks, all sorted.

If it could be posted in the FAQ that would be helpful for the next newbie :slight_smile:

The information will be present here, in the trust levels etc. bits. It’s tricky to maintain a balance between putting everything in the FAQ and not putting enough there, unfortunately.

Do note, that in general, we try to “default to open” in the community, i.e. have all our discussions in open channels that everyone has access to—so that we can speak and discuss with everyone and everyone has a chance to participate. Direct messaging is generally rare and limited to bits where personal information may need to be shared.
