why is there not an option to reply to people personally?

They are working on it. It seems to be the next thing coming, but as Martin said, it's slow. The developers all have jobs. This is a spare time volunteer thing they do, so it will be a while yet, maybe. I know that it is the one thing I want more than any other. I could have done without PMs. Didn't need the green dot to see who's here and who's not, but nested replies, those will do away with a lot of misunderstandings.

You can send a pm ...but only if they don't have their filters on ...I love the filter option ...just saying

You can private message people directly here at SW if that's what you mean by your question. If you mean the ability to post a public reply directly to a person's reply, they are working on that. That's called "nested replies/direct comments" and that is almost ready according to their chart of what they are working on.

It looks like it's getting close to done, but the Q&A looked like that for several weeks. So, it's a waiting game.

it seems like it should have been one of the first things added no?

chernobylsplayground where do i send the pm to?

Good question!

Riiiight?!

no not a personal message i know you can do that i mean here on the questions page its really awkward talking to people like this lol

Just click on the persons profile and click on the little envelope looking icon at the top ....

they're working on it...i think it's next on the list (nested comments)

Rage, you mean the nested replies on these threads, right?

They're working on it

That I don't know about

serenitree yeah

They haven't developed the site to that point. It's slow.
