How to PM (Forums)

This is not really an in-game topic, but relates to the current STO forums.
If you need to send a PM to another forum user, you can't simply click on their profile link next to their post. That will take you to Core Connect, which is currently unused by STO players because it's not fully implemented for STO yet.
To PM me or another forum user, just copy their username and go into the User CP link near the top of the forums.
That puts you into the forum control panel for your user account. Under private messages, click "Send New Message", put in the username of the person you want to contact and send your message. The Recipient Username(s) field has autocompletion and will show you the member names that match what you're entering.
There are additional options you can select for each message, including saving it to your sent items folder and showing your signature.
Just a reminder, PM's are no excuse for violating forum rules... forum rules apply there, too.
If you get a PM that violates forum rules, you can either ignore it and delete it, or report it. DON'T REPLY TO IT. Community Mods can't moderate PM's, so you'll have to contact PWE Customer Support or the Community Manager to report a problem.
There is a limit to how many messages can be stored in your message folders. There is one folder for received messages and one for sent messages. If you PM a lot, it's a good idea to click the "Empty Folder" link occasionally.
If you want to save some of those messages, you'll have to either select the messages you want to delete manually, or delete the messages one-by-one. By and large, it's probably easier and more efficient to just whack them.

Nice post, very informative.
However, due to the high volume of threads that tend to get created in this section of the Forums, do you think you could "Sticky" this one?
It would be of great use to the community, both current and future new members (players).
Would hate for this to get buried and forgotten.
You can choose to subscribe to any thread you post in. That will send you a notification of any new responses. Look in the "Additional Options" section of the reply. You can unsubscribe at any time. I believe the notifications tell you how. You can also unsubscribe from your "User CP" (see the link at the top of the forums).
You can search for your own posts in Advanced Search. Plug in your own forum name as the user to search for, filter on posts newer than a month, and choose to show every post that matches.

And just on a side note tangent, when are we getting rid of the badly done white border around the forum buttons?
