I cant seem to see it, i dont know if maybe my account is too new or something, im sorry
No stress, and no need to be sorry. In my opinion, the way the forum handles chat vs. conversation is pretty confusing. The way you contacted me was what I would call 'Chat'. Assuming you're on mobile, you can access it with the chat bubbles with the green number at the top right of the site. You can then choose 'Conversation with Kurwenal' to read my message and reply. It's confusing and silly that it's 'Chat', but termed a 'Conversation', to my mind.
In case the chat feature isn't working for you, I've also sent you a 'Conversation'. These are great as you can make it that you get email and/or push notifications when you receive one. To access these, go to the 'hamburger menu/three horizontal lines' in the top left, again assuming mobile, choose the icon that looks like an out tray (immediately to the left of the bell), and there will be a list of conversations. I personally find this is the better way to communicate privately on this site.
Think of 'Chat' as live messaging, similar to something like Discord. Meanwhile, 'Conversations' are more like a PM/DM. A bit less fast-paced, if nothing else. Hopefully these instructions can help you see the messages I've sent, through either option. Please do reach out again on this thread if it's still not working for you: we'll find a way.
