How to Private Message in this forum

I thought I’d post this since a lot of people need to use Private Messaging to communicate with Drew and others.
Here are the official rules for getting bumped up a level so you can message:

Get to trust level 1 by…
*** Entering at least 5 topics**
*** Reading at least 30 posts**
*** Spend a total of 10 minutes reading posts**

By reading they just mean slowly scrolling by a post. This is set by the software (not BFD) to keep spammers out. It works pretty well.
Here’s the whole explanation:

Thanks. Replying so I can PM Drew. Why not just give us your address Drew?

Welcome. Getting bumped up from ‘noobie’ level doesn’t involve making any posts at all.

You just need to enter 5 topics and read for 10 minutes while scrolling through those topics you entered and you’re good to go. It may take 5 minutes or so for the system to record your activity and bump you up to Level 1 from Level 0, but that’s all it takes.
