Moses- I'm on a Mac and it works for me. It's actually very PC oriented so it took me awhile to get used to it. Windows keep popping up and down and not very user friendly (sorry SSC but it is weird system). Very odd for us Mac folks (if you ask me).
LOLA - Hi there!
here is how you find it...
1. go to the forums page
2. you will see a blue button that says LAUNCH, right below where it says who is signed in and how many guests are browsing.
3. Click on the Launch
On the main page of the Messenger it will list all or any buddies you have selected. You select by clicking "add to buddy list" under a persons avatar (picture). See on the left column <------- big blue square button?
Once you click that for anyone here, you can send them a message. They may not be logged in so then it just goes to the "offline" messages.
I just noodled around with it until I figured it out. Just sort of experiment!
good luck!
Best,
HP
