I agree with all of the above, plus I cant veiw my sent messages (it shows an error message every time I try) and unless I am replying to a message, I have no clue how to actually send one. Would love if someone could tell me how to do this (Im a little technically challenged!)

Oh, in the grey box next to Sent Messages there is a Compose New Message button.

Hey Polychromatic, Thanks for all the input, we agree with all the above as well. We have to see to give the message system an overhaul, it certainly can use some optimizing!

hey polychromatin, until there's a new fix, there's also a way to make the box a lot longer (but not wider, i think)-- the bottom right hand corner has two tiny diagonal marks, if you click and drag that your scrolling woes will vanish! well, that's not true. but you'll get a little more real estate anyway :).

I get the compose new message part but what do I type in the To section to send a message to another member, I have tried a few different things and just keep getting error messages.

As far as I know you have to write the name of the member you want to write to? I never tried it and don't know if it works.

To reply I've usually had to go to the member's profile and use the send message button on their profile. I usually get error messages if i type it in too. Would love it if we had a simple reply button in the message system.

Oooo, I just tried those diagonal lines, and they work, and it's beautiful so thank you Oonaballoona. Also, I think some problems could be solved if we had a way to "Make Friends" on here. Then the members would be easier to find. What do you think?
