I searched and couldn’t really find anything relevant. Would it be possible to allow a non-member to send the forum administrator (of my own forum) a private message? Or perhaps be able to provide a link or a form or some way of contacting the administrator without having to log in or become a memb…

I don’t think this exists, and the idea has been shut down before – but if you must have a way to do it, you could provide a link to external contact form, like a free one at Tally . This link could appear in your /about section or as a Custom Header Link .

thank you I have an email link in the about page, I guess that will have to due
