Razhie answered Tuesday February 7 2012, 7:42 am: There is no 'private messaging' on Advicenators. But people can ask questions directly to registered users - if that registered user allows them too.
On the left hand side of your screen, under Profile Settings, you can control who is allowed to ask questions directly to you.
About 3/4 down the page is the section:
Who can ask you questions?
Anyone
Only registered users
No one
If you want anyone to be able to ask you questions directly, choose Anyone. I *think* this section defaults to 'only registered users'... [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
