Hi all, sorry to be a bit dense but I am new to this. I have noticed on other posts requests for a PM - what does that mean?

Dear Sue

Hello

Welcome to the boards!

PM means that information has been sent by a personal message because it could contain more sensitive details.

So the sender clicks on the persons name and a box opens for a message to be typed.

Hope this helps

Take gentle care
Very best wishes

Thanks Elizabeth for your help, I thought that may have been the case but didnt want to make assumptions.

Sensible of you to ask, Su..I didnt and was a long time figuring out what was meant by some of the abbreviations, such as psml. Which is short for pi***sed myself laughing. and Lol, whish is laugh out loud.

Thanks Jean, knew those ones already although a friend of mine used to think that lol was lots of love which made it very funny when she used to end her messages with lol. Its very easy for people to forget that others dont automatically know the abbreviations.
