Can you do private messaging or get friends in WikiAnswers?

Answer 1

Although we might in the future WikiAnswers does not have a private messaging feature. We do however have message boards, please click the related link for help and information on the use of message boards on WikiAnswers.

Answer 2

You can't. The closest thing, however, is leaving a message on their message board. Message board messages are deletable by the recipent, so you could send them a message with the info and the instruction to delete it. PMs are being thought about.

It could be a possible future tool on Wikianswers. But note, it does have some problems.

Answer 3

When you post a question in the "Enter a question here..." box at the top of the page, it can be seen by anyone browsing the WikiAnswers. So the question is not private. Your identity is relatively private if you have created a username that is not so close to your real name that people who know you could figure out the connection.

If you want to ask a question of one individual who has an account here, go to the person's profile page and place a message.
