Who is dr121118?

[Andrew TinsleyParticipant @andrewtinsley63637]

He has a couple of items in the classified. I am interested in one of them. But the mail system does not recognize this name!

Looks like it will allow me to send him a message, what do uou get come up?

[WearyParticipant @weary]

He is a bona-fide vendor.  I have bought an item from him.  On my experience can recommend.

I contacted him initially by clicking on his blue text user-name in the advert’ immediately to left and below the accompanying photo’, then in the next screen clicked on the grey text box ‘Private Message’ immediately below the large grey area at the top of that page.   That then gives you the ‘message form’.  Obviously you do not have to fill in his name on the ‘send to’ line.   Subsequent communication was by direct emails between us.

Regards,

Phil

Hello Jason,

If I send the message, I get an immediate response saying message not sent use a recognised name (or  equivalent)

Andrew,

Just tried and it sent the message OK, doing it as Weary describes

[Andrew TinsleyParticipant @andrewtinsley63637]

Hello Weary,

That worked, thanks very much for the tip. I just assumed that one filled in dr121118 into the name box. That didn’t work! Here was I thinking that it was the logical thing to do, another of the new forum oddities.

Regards,

Andrew.
