Trying to reach another BF member...

[birdave]

Tech. Support/Moderators,
I'm trying to send a short message to another BF member, who is in law enforcement. We did a transaction a couple/few years ago. My message isn't about the transaction, but rather about the safety of him and his family. When I tried to send my message, I got a pop-up window saying I'm not able to contact the member. What, if anything, can I do?

Thank you for any help you may be able to provide, birdave.

If he is not currently a paying member, you can't PM him.
You should be able to leave a message on his profile page, even if he does not have a paid account. However, users have the option to not allow anyone to view their profile page. So that approach is a "maybe".

If he is not a paid member and if he has set his profile page to "not viewable", my best recommendation would tthen be to find a post by him and quote it. Then write a quick note to him in the post. Most folks have the software set to notify them if somebody quotes them. A lot of them will go to look at what somebody said in response to the original post.

rycen/knarfeng,
The member is sarge930. I'm low-tech, so all advice is welcome. I just tried the quoting a post method, we'll see what happens. Thank you both for your help, it's truly appreciated! Stay safe, Joe (birdave).

I don’t know if you saw but according to his profile he was online in February of this year. I’ll send him a message along with a link to this thread
