I am new to the forum. I have received and answered many private messages, but just how do yousend a private message? Is there a spot to go to that teaches everything there is to know about the forum? Thanks .

Go to search. Type in the handle of the person you are looking for. Click on the 'lock' and then send your message. Or, find a post the person made, then click on the 'lock' on the upeer right of their message.

but just how do yousend a private message?

The little orange lock to the right at the top of the post, click it and you'll be able to send a PM to the individual who posted to the thread, or as Ajaan said, ... or click on "no new messages", and you'll go to your history of PM's received or sent and you can send a PM from there once you click on any message from any forum member who has responded to one of yours.
