Hi!

I just wrote this out for someone, and thought I would share it here so any newbies can see it. Also anyone who's come back since they've changed things!

• Click your icon or go to 'Your Houzz' at upper right.
• Click the pencil at the top right (for 'Edit Profile').
• Click 'Advanced Settings' on the left bar
• Go down near the bottom where it says "Who can message me" and choose "Anyone can message me."
• Click 'Update' at the bottom.
• Now you can get messages!

To get emails when you get messages, on the same 'Advanced Settings Page, under 'User Activity Notifications' (about in the middle),

• Go to 'someone messages me'
• Choose 'every time'
• Click 'Update' at the bottom.
• Now when you receive a message, Houzz will will send you an email saying you have received a message.

They've definitely made this too complicated!!!!!

Hope this helps.

Best,

Shannon
