    The Talk 2 forums ask that customers sometimes send them a PM. However, the links only work on the full site. When clicked on the touch site, you're just redirected to the inbox.

    Secondly, they ask that people 'click the link in the signature' to PM them - however signatures don't show on the touch site and won't show if people have them disabled on the main site.

    Finally, I assume new registrations aren't prohibited from contacting Talk 2 Reps as per the new signup rules, which I think don't allow people under X amount of posts to send a PM?

    Further to Sully's observations, clicking the rep's name appears to do the job but in most cases sending the PM invokes a response along the lines of:
    Rep_Xxxx has chosen not to receive private messages or may not be allowed to receive private messages. Therefore you may not send your message to him/her.
    If PMs are to be sent to a central point could the links in the reps' names be unified for 'touch' users?

    Reps don't allow PMs - you need to PM a general rep account that they all have access to. I suggested along time ago that the system should be modified so that a user with the Rep Status PM feature is sent to their central Inbox. But that probably requires a fair bit of work.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
