Yes! To send a message to another member, you can either locate the member you want to contact within the search listings or simple enter their User ID / Handle to find them and scroll to the bottom of their profile to post a message with a subject heading.
The message box contains any new messages you receive, and allows you to view all the messages you have received, along with the User ID of the person who sent the message to you and the date and time the message was sent.
You will need to periodically delete old messages, due to limits to the number of private messages you can have in your folder. If your message box contains old messages that have not been deleted, you will not be able to send or receive new messages until they have been deleted.
Whenever you read a message, you will have the option to reply to the message, or forward that message to another member.
