Hi, apologies if this has been discussed before, but has there ever been a way to message other RumX members directly? I’d assume a mutual approval process where both need to accept prior to the messaging being allowed, but just curious if this was already built into the app or was ever thought of to add as a feature.

You can already send private messages to other members. Click on the users name and you’ll see a “Message” button.

I think he means via the app and not via forum

Only option right now is to check in their profile if they have a forum account and then message them here. There is no messaging functionality embedded directly in the app.

In the upcoming app version 23.0.51, I have implemented a shortcut in the profile overview of a user to start a chat directly via the forum. ⚡
