BigTent Tip: How to send TentMail

You can easily send a private message on BigTent to a fellow group member by following these quick steps:

1. Go to my bigtent > tentmail.
2. Click the “Write TentMail” link and scroll to the bottom of the page.

3. In the “To” field type the name or email of the member you want to message. An auto suggest list will appear with members who match your entry. Select your recipient from the list.
4. Enter a subject, write your message and click “Send.” That’s it!

To send a TentMail to more than one member, place a comma after each recipient in the “To” field.

Please let us know if you have any question about TentMail, or any BigTent feature for that matter, by leaving us a comment!

Cheers,
