Hello,
I've just read a post that I really relate to and am wondering if it is possible to message a poster privately to chat if they so wish? Does anyone know how I can do this ?

You can send a private message.

Click on the three dots at bottom right of their message. You are given option to PM.

Thank you @Fireandflight, where do I find the option for this?

hmmm, I don't see any three dots. The poster has a thread up and her op is just what she has written and then nothing at the bottom. It just shows the next posters response below

I'm on my phone and my screen looks nothing like you show above. Would it make a difference that I am using a phone

I've tried to take a photo to show you but when I click on attachment icon, it says I have no photos to add 🤔🤔

sometimes things get lost at the edges, i find i can recover them by making the zoom size smaller or larger.
but i am using a chromebook.
don't know what happens on phones, sorry.
someone will know.

lifeofasd · 20/12/2022 00:52

This is all I see, with no dots

Please do bear in mind that not everyone is who they say they are on the internet. Stay wary of revealing your personal details and information online. This is not a "safe place".

One final point: the person may not reply, they may even have their inbox set to No Inboxing Thank You.

lifeofasd · 20/12/2022 00:55

Like this below..I just have those options

Thank you for reply @TinFoilHatty,
I have tried on random posters to see if it would show different options but it doesn't..do I have to subscribe to mumsnet premium maybe??

You can't do it from the app, you need to open it in a browser on your phone Smile

MistyGreenAndBlue · 20/12/2022 01:02

I'm on my phone and my screen looks nothing like yours. Are you using the app?
I'm on the mobile site through my browser.

Might be the problem. I hear the app can be a bit non functional.

SantaBakula · 20/12/2022 01:14

As @MistyGreenAndBlue says my display also looks nothing like yours .

I am on my phone and use Google chrome ( not MN app) aa well as not seeing the three dots circled on mine in blue , you also don't have save , share , report and book mark circled in red .

SantaBakula · 20/12/2022 01:15

Oh and you definitely don't need premium 🙂

lifeofasd · 20/12/2022 01:17

Ahhh thank you all so much, you were right, it can't be done on the app. I am logged in on the app. I had to open it on browser through google but then I couldn't log in, it would only allow me to register so I had to register under a new name as my own one was obviously taken by me😂🙈
Thank you all for your help, I finally managed to send the poster a pm. Thank you 😊
