right beside the username there is an an arrow.Just bring up the menu from that arrow.
There you will see various options-just as you would see in the profile-and one of those is pm(private message).
Also you may notice a little orange "thingy" on some posts.If you click that it takes you right to the most recent post in that topic.
Finally,all the admins should be able to get in the Admin forum.If you can't...holler.
And everyone should also be able to clear the chat-found the module to make everyone a mod.Something told me the only way a person could clear the chat room was to be a moderator.
Think we're all set now.
