In summary, the conversation feature on our website allows users to send private messages (PMs) to other users. To initiate a conversation, users can click on the "Message" button on the profile page of the person they want to message. They can then type their message and send it. Once a conversation has been started, users can continue to send and receive messages in the conversation window. Users also have the option to block or report inappropriate messages. Overall, the conversation feature is a convenient way for users to privately communicate with each other on our website.

Well you never learn without asking, but how do you "send" a PM to someone? I don't see a "send" button. I understand it's called "conversation" here but how do I know its been sent?

Under "information" in the profile, there is a button "Start a Conversation".

Under "Inbox", you can find "https://www.physicsforums.com/conversations/add"
