Within the community, members can send you a “private message” that only you can view. Note that members cannot see your email address (unless you choose to make it available in your profile). This allows users to send you a message without actually knowing your email. If someone sends you a “private message”, you will be alerted by email – you can then sign in to the system and check your Inbox. Please note that members can also send members an email – however, please note that they never see your private email address (the email is sent through the system).
