I simply can’t grasp how you reply privately to people???
I think @Mohammad is a great contributer to TW. He is not English. And, because I teach English, I wanted to send him some tips on how to handle English plurals slightly better.
But I can’t see how I’d do that.
Best, TT
@TiddlyTitch ,
Would that be fair. I mean, your profile is private, would he even be able to answer you?
All I’m asking about is how to, via Discourse, write privately to a person. I assume that happens via email? In which case he can easily reply?
TiddlyTweeter, The reason for this is to not show peoples email addresses - to avoid email harvesting.
Ciao @Birthe, that I appreciate. The issue, I think, is that the Discourse interface is not intuitive. You have to learn a lot to get okay at it. I am still not convinced it is optimal for beginners.
Best wishes, TT
You may never be. But don’t confuse TW-noobs with regular web users. Learning TW can be hard for non-techie folks but Discourse? I remain to be convinced there’s a problem at all (backed with ~4 yrs Discourse moderator experience).
Now quit with all the moaning and go edit a screenplay or six 
You can also go direct to a personal (private) message from anywhere you reply.
Hit the reply arrow:
Then pick the new personal message:
And then you are composing in the personal message screen:
I decided not to send @TiddlyTitch an official warning
