Private conversations between members. Supports one-on-one and group conversations.

Sending a Message

Click the chat icon in the bottom-right corner to open the messenger widget, or visit /messages for the full inbox view. Click "New Conversation" and search for a user by name or username.

Message Features

  • Text formatting. Markdown supported in messages
  • File attachments. Send images, documents, and other files
  • Emoji reactions. Hover a message and click the smiley face to react with an emoji (thumbs up, heart, laugh, surprised, sad, fire)
  • Read receipts. Sent messages show checkmarks: one (sent), double gray (delivered), double green (read)
