**Hello,**

I just thinking about how to make more understandable that how to send a private message on our forum. Unfortunately a lot of member don’t know how to do this. 😕 No matter how often show them how to send it.

So i think it is more simple if every post has a private message button or icon next to reply button.

This button has the **same action like the user card message button**. So it is going to auto complete with the current post if somebody click it.

It looks like something like this on desktop and on mobile without text:  
 ![pm](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/0/a/0ad3f3744813550e2737e75f5fe6d48ab68c9336.png)

Important to **only appear it those trust levels where user can send pm**.

Is there any way to do this?

**Thanks for your help! 🙂**
