Hi, I'm not sure if this is the best place to put this question.

Is there a way to privately contact someone on AnswerBank without it being public? I need to get a message to someone but I need it to be private. Any ideas?

It can be passed along through a moderator however this also has to be private. It's not a personal thing but it is something I don't want everyone to see.

Thanks :)

The easiest way is to post an 'FAO' message to the relevant person, asking them to get in touch with you and providing a throwaway email address for them to do so. (NB: If you go down that route, state clearly in your post that you're using a disposable email address, solely for that contact. The Ed disapproves of members giving out their regular email addresses...

So true MissT, so true. I met one of the kindest person I've ever met from AnswerBank. OPSEC is really important though, people do need to be careful.
Tiggs is at home, having just chatted a bit to her... she posted

I created a Gmail account but it's not syncing with my other Gmail accounts so can't find their message

So she is trying, not ignoring you.

Thanks Arksided :)
Hi, back now. Just responded. I don't normally create new email accounts so had trouble finding it tbh.

Anyway, yes, I was travelling about, school run, boiler chap turned up and has now sorted out my boiler. Got hot water now and radiators are boiling so just waiting for the heat to kick in.
You're welcome... plus you don't know what kind and lovely words that I posted about you.
Hiya Tigger, I thought you might still be busyXx
OPSEC ?
In the time it took me to type my response and take a phone call at the same time, you'd responded, Arky....just seen your post! :o)

Thank you for emailing me back. I suspect people are going to be wondering what it was I wanted to say to you tigger. Feel free to put them out of their misery.

anneasquith: Operational Security.
OPSEC =operations security (for Anne)
This is a whodunnit book in the making!
I do like to keep you on your toes Tigger ;-)
Just in case you are all wondering, Xeronema advised me that my location coordinates may be on an image I posted from imgbb. The location on however is nowhere near me so not sure how the system thinks I am there.
Question Author
..and that's why I couldn't talk to tigger on AnswerBank because had they been her co-ordinates, I'd be advertising the fact they were there to everyone.
Well done, Xeronema. Good job.
Thank you very much for showing concern, Zeronema. Much appreciated :o)
Oops! I mean Xeronema!
