Since my initial post said to send a pm I thought I'd better make sure that everybody knows how to do it! There are several ways to do this, a couple of them are listed below.

If you have someone's post open and wish to send them a pm you can click on their name. A drop down box will appear and you can select the option to send a private message.

Another option is to select the member list icon at the top of the page.

Browse the list to find the member who you wish to send a pm to and click on their name, their profile will then appear.

From the profile, there is a button which you can click to send a private message.

Either option will open a new message. You then just need to type whatever you wish to say and scroll down the page to select submit message.

First, select the forum you wish to post to from the main screen. Please ensure that you have picked the most relevant forum.

Click on the "new thread" icon at the top of the forum

Whilst typing, please pay particular attention to spelling and ensure your message contains no text talk. If you are unsure about spelling then we encourage you to use a spell checker.
