Private Messaging - How?

I want to PM other members on a thread that I started but I don't have the PM button showing up. I don't seem to have the capability. I searched through FAQ and came up empty. How do I enable this?

Well, I have 20 to go. Would it hurt if I posted 20 messages here to enable PM?

Tell us about your truck. Do you have any mods on it?

Posting for the sake of posting is against the rules. Why not introduce yourself, tell us about your truck, or join a local chapter!

Welcome

Just bought an Excursion last week because we had another baby in August which makes 7. No mods yet, just wanting to convert to a 9 passenger for now.

Instead of making several posts to reply to people, you can do a multi-quote. Try it out. Press the button next to quote that look like two pieces of paper with a plus sign on each of the people you want to reply to. Then go to the "Post Reply" button.
