How to send and read messages

Sending messages

You may send a private e-mail to any member of Ourmedia. The message winds up in his or her my messages basket on the site rather than in his or her external e-mail in-box.

To do so, navigate to the person's My Page (member page) and click "Send [this person] a message" to the right of the person's name near the top of the page.

Reading

To read your messages, select my messages from the left nav under MY CONTROLS. You'll see the date, time, sender's name and subject. Select the subject to read the message. You may then reply to the message, delete it or ignore it.

Message controls

If you do not wish to receive private messages on Ourmedia, go to your account settings page (on the edit tab of your My Page). Under "Private message settings," uncheck the box next to "Allow private messages."

Message notification

If you have messages waiting in your my messages queue, you'll receive a daily e-mail notification sent to the e-mail account on your account settings page. To turn this off, go to your account settings page (on the edit tab of your My Page) and uncheck the box that says, "Receive daily e-mail for unread messages."
