I wanted to send a member a "private message" and thought the "start a conversation" feature was a replacement for the "private message" feature. Not only have I not seen any reply to the conversation there is no record that I started the conversation. At least I could not find one.

I just found the little envelope at the upper right next to my name. So there is a record that I started the conversation and this must be the replacement for the "private message" feature.

A "Conversation? seems to be the new description of a "Private Message". It is the same on another forum I subscribe to. I guess the software designers need to change things so they can justify their salary.
 
Yep, starting a "conversation" is sending a PM. I've used it with Jawzilla and it's essentially PMs by a different name. That envelope is also where you'll find your old PMs. You can also have conversations with more that two people involved.
 
Yup, equally confused I just tried sending a PM/"converstion to someone. I have no idea if it went through. BTW, whare is that little envelope? I don't find one.

Also, is there a way to access sorted categories of threds like in the old verson? Now all I see is a randome stream of threads of all assorted topics.

Do I now have ot seach every time I want to follow an ongoing thread?

The 'Envelope' is rather small - in the banner at the top of the page.

In that same banner, click on the "Forums" option on the left.
 
I see the envelope.
But, when I hover my cursor over the person's name, I get a choice to "start conversation".
Is that the same thing?
I am on a laptop, I find it easier for me that way.
