Trying to contact someone directly

Hi, how do you contact someone directly on CC? Thanks

Click on their user name (such as “PhotonEx”). You will see a button that says “message”. Click on it.

I think you need to have 15 posts, then you can follow these instructions http://talk.qa.collegeconfidential.com/faqs-on-college-confidential/2021871-how-can-i-message-another-member.html#latest

Make at least 15 posts, then you can communicate via private message by clicking on one’s username, then hitting “message”.

MODERATOR’S NOTE:
Closing thread. The definitive answer has been given, and is covered in depth in the following thread;

I will reiterate, that the 15 posts need to be substantive posts. Posts whose sole purpose is to boost post count are considered spam and will be handled accordingly.
