    You need to copy and paste the whole pm, including the user name, into an email and send to

    Please do this although its a bit bothersome as people shouldn't be subjected to unwanted advertising via pm as they certainly are not allowed to avertise on the boards :)

    its also advisable to send the url of the user's profile, to help abuse find them quicker

    (right click on the user name, and select open page in new window. then highlight the URL (web address), right click and select copy. then go back to your message to abuse and paste. simple pimple, job done :beer: )
