Like the title says, I can't find a link to start a conversation with someone from their profile page. Right now, the only way I can find to do it, is by going to their profile and clicking their "postings" tab, then I scroll to the bottom, click on "Find all threads by so and so", then click on a thread by that person, then click on their username by their first post on that thread (so that small black pop-up window comes up), and then I finally see the only link I can find to "start a conversation" with that particular person.

I know you can start a conversation from you own conversation page, however you must enter the member's username, and know how to spell it exactly.. and with all the usernames on here that have random numbers, underscores, capital vs. lowercase letters, etc.. that can be difficult sometimes. But there used to be a link right there on everyone's profile page to PM them on the old site.. would like to see that again. Or am I missing it somewhere?
 
I'm going to put an easy-to-find link in the sidebar soon, but until then, it's under the "Information" tab:
