link to pm in the body of a post
Is it possible to place an instant link to the private message feature from within a message. Something along the line of:

People interested in this should contact me via [private message]

- [would be link to pm window, with this members address filled in and ready to go}



I have searched, I don't see anything on this...famous last words.

thanks

There is a PrivateReply plugin that is out there that does generate a link to the PM system. It's set to include under a user name (to the left here), and when it is clicked...and PM to that user is started with reference to the post (suject and body).

Maybe you can find some help there.

you would type your message and then add a URL to the text that should be hyperlinked.
The URL would be something like:

http://www.yoursite.com/...msg_subject=yyyyyyyy

Replace "xxxx" with the user ID of the person the PM should go to.
Replace "yyyy" with the subject of the PM (if you want) - remember it is a URL so try not to use spaces (you can replace with %20 for any space)
