Is this where I'm supposed to introduce myself?
Thanks for your friendly welcome Sue, and for the kind invitation to introduce myself.
i was unable to figure out how to do this so, after half an hour, my husband suggested I try Post New Thread.
Is he right?
If not, how can I do it?
I had a similar problem with my first and only message/reply - could not find "send" or "post" button and inadvertently ended up sending it twice. I don't know how this happened.
Same problem now: I shall try the button "submit new thread" and hope it refers to this one and not a new one.

Hi Verbascum
Welcome from me too.
This cyber stuff is a bit confusing at the start - but you seem to be getting the hang of it now so good on you.
And as practice makes perfect you will just have to keep posting
All the best

Question: Is it possible to send a personal message?
Question: I was looking at some correspondence with someone from Sheffield now living in New Jersey. Can't find it, so it might be in a different forum. Or are messages sometimes erased?

About Sheffield and NJ
Depending where you live in NJ, I wonder if you would like to be introduced to my friend who lives in Sheffield and will be occasionally visiting her son who is studying in NJ. I'm sure you have plenty of places to stay when you go, but if you fancied a bit of independence you might want to do an occasional house+car swap. Last time she flew from Manchester on USAir to Newark changing in Philly, which I wouldn't have known about.
I asked whether we could send personal messages as not everyone will need to join in this discussion.
And I've managed to stray from the thread!

Re: Is this where I'm supposed to introduce myself?
Yes you have the ability to send private messages. But people aren't always keen on receiving unsolicited private messages from someone they don't know. So you would be better off posting in the USA forum if you are looking for others who are in NJ. We have quite a few members in that area so I'm sure if you started a thread about it some of them would surface.
