Hello Mwhitfield.
They arn't email address's , they are forum user names .
Hope this explains things more - if you are still struggling just let us know
and we will do our best to assist you . :thumbup:
As Daisy1 says you will need 3 more posts to access the PM [private message] function .
So keep posting then you will gain access to this.
Once you have posted 5 or more times - to access PM just click onto the user name you need .
[giverny in 'red' is our site administrator] click on her name then go down to private message .
Request your change of user name to her , she will assist you with it all .
Hope this helps...
Anna.
