  Can anyone tell me how you can private message someone on WGT please? I have had messages sent to me by owners of other clubs but I can't reply to them for some reason. I was told that you need to be friends with the person that you want to send the message to but I have looked at this and I still can't see any option to message someone.

  Thanks

  If you are reading a private message then you should have a message box at the bottom of the conversation through which you can respond.

  Hi Scott, thanks for this but I already know that if someone sends you a message that you can reply to it as you've shown above. What I'm not sure of is how I would send the initial, new, message.

  You can only PM people on your friend's list. There's a button at the top of their profile for it. The alternative is to left a message on their wall.

  If you don't speak about wall posts, this may be a clue:

  CC owners have but one privilege over "normal" users: They may invite players to their CC. I never did, but it may include the option of a personal message(?)

  Just check which kind of messages you received!

  That's what I've been told YankeeJim but I can't seem to see any message button. ALL I can see on their profile is their awards, equipment etc. A lot of my members play on mobile so don't check their wall that often. Thanks for trying to help.

  If you are a mobile player, you can't initiate a PM, because WGT still has that in java on the pc/mac platform. You can only respond to one that was sent to you. 

  Mobile players can access their messages even if the associated email has been lost.

  as it is the same address for everyone. I've suggested to WGT that they have a button on mobile just for this.

  I do play on mobile but even when I log onto my account via pc, I still can't see an option to initiate a private message, even with people on my friends list. 

  A message button on mobile would be great. I doubt they will do that though as it's too useful to players lol. They'd rather add things that make people spend more money.

  Haha. That's what happens when the left hand doesn't know what the write hand is doing-right hand is writing and the left one feels leaved out.   :-D
