I probably should have said Private Message sent. To send a private message, you left click on the persons name and a menu drops down, and then you can send them a private message. But you have to add the recipient's name though. To check your private messages when you sign on to the board you again left click on your own name ( mine is at the top right of the page )and a menu drops down and you can check your messages. Usually if you have a reply or a new message it will be flashing.

Hope this helps,
