Conversations are the equivalent of Private Messages in the old vBulletin forum. Here is one way to start a new conversation.

Click on the envelope (Conversations symbol) as shown in the figure below.

This will open the same text editor box as shown in the previous method ...

Thanks for the information on how to start a conversation Bill. By the way, looked through your photo gallery and Daisy looks just like our Scooter we had for 17 years. She passed couple years ago.
