Find a post they made and click the Email link (rather than the Reply link) on that post.

Thank you.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

Nowadays, you must have a really high CP reputation for the 'Email' link to appear. I remember it was there, generally available to everyone, but I guess someone abused it, so it was reserved for only those very trustworthy ones. I am not among those, and I wouold suspect that the OP isn't, either.

Okay good, I thought I still wasn't seeing it.

Is that a reputation limited thing? I don't see the email link on any posts.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Interesting. Such a link used to exist unless the OP turned that feature off (some members do this so as to not be bothered). I looked at several posts by myself and others and indeed I do not see an Email link. When I check my settings, however, I have the Email notifications turned on. I guess it's above my pay grade.

Can you explain how to enable/disable that feature? I don't find it, but I remember for sure, before a decade it was there.
Maybe also @kent-sharkey can help on that?

I do see them, but only on the people that has it active. It is something you can switch in your own settings.

I'm fairly sure the private email link in posts was removed some time ago.

It is still there, but not for everyone.

That used to be an option for everyone, but it's been a long time since I've seen the email link in any post. Just for giggles, check this response to see if the email link appears. In Options I have checked the "Allow private email replies to this message" box, as well as the "E-mail me if someone replies to this message" box.

That's the auto generated email from the site, not the same.

And yes, it is there. But not for everyone to be seen / used.

I just checked my permissions on CP. Apparently, in order to send private messages one must be a "protector". AFAIK, very few members have that privilege.

I didn't know it was only for protectors, but yes. I can see it.

You need to have been awarded the Protector status. (That's the one with the shield on your avatar)
It isn't listed here: Member Reputation System and I've either never known or simply forgotten how to obtain it. (I suspect it's awarded manually)

In a different wording: The functionality is not available.

I suppose so, yes;
Which then prompts me to wonder why the "Allow private email replies to this message" checkbox remains on the Reply To Message screen;
 I've just realized my brain did something funny. It somehow slipped into code-mode and ended the sentences with a semi-colon instead of a period.

Legacy?
Maybe to be restored in a future? I think it is easier to just make
IF (Status == Protector ) email = visible;
than redo the whole sit to delete the link and its implications / relationships with the personal profile and so on and so on.

Yeah... it is given by CP staff manually.

Just curious, or am I expecting too much ?
OK, I declare / define C function to return int...
Then I forget to add
return ...
in code.
Compiles / links AND crashes with no error message...

Wrong place to ask. When you find the correct place, include the actual code and other details.

Without an explicit return statement, functions default to returning an int. What compile level are you using? I always use level 4.

Me too and that was my first thought. How did that even compile?
