How to message a poster

[fullfathomfive]

I'm sorry if I'm missing something (am new here). I want to send a message to a poster, but when I click the 'message poster' link, instead of a field appearing (or popping up) where I might type out a message, nothing happens. In fact, that's not strictly true, because the page kind of 'jumps' to the top of the page. But this brings me no nearer to sending a private message.

I'd be grateful if someone could explain it to me. Thank you.

What machine are you using? It works fine on an iPad using Safari browser.

I'm using a laptop which is quite old. Perhaps this is the issue. Thanks.

Which browser? Maybe try a different one? (If you'd been on the app, that might have been the explanation.)

I will admit that I don't entirely know what "if I'd been on the app" means. I don't have a smartphone or an iPad anyway.

I'm using Explorer. Will try later with Firefox. Thanks again.

There's an MN app for smartphones etc, but I am antiquated and use the browser. Hope you can get it working, and welcome, btw. :)

There's a geeky stuff forum here too, someone there might be able to help.
