Message members

How to message members

Visit the members stream to view all members.

From the members stream, you can use the envelope icon at the bottom of a profile tile to contact a member.

From a profile page, you can message a member by clicking the ‘Message’ button.

Note: Some platforms have secure settings that prevent you from messaging members you’re not connected with. In these cases, you’ll need to send a connection request first before messaging them.

If you receive a message that’s offensive or doesn’t comply with the platform’s terms and conditions, you can report it to the platform administrators.

How to send a new message from your inbox

1. Use the main menu and click/tap on ‘Inbox’.
2. Select ‘New message’.
3. If you're connected with members, you'll see them in a scrolling box — just tick the box next to their name to send a message.
4. If you're not connected, you can search for a member by name using the search bar at the top.

Note: On some platforms, you’ll only be able to message members you’re connected with. If you can’t find someone, try connecting with them first.

How to report a message:

1. Go to your inbox, select the conversation, and locate the message you want to report.
2. Use the drop-down arrow to the right of the message and select ‘Report message’.
3. The message will be hidden from your conversation while an administrator reviews it.
4. The admin will decide the next steps — the message will only be reinstated if it doesn’t break the platform’s terms and conditions.

How to block a member:

Use the drop-down arrow to the right of the message and select ‘Block user’.
