different person?

It’s because your friend is a basic level user.
Your friend will have to be at least a Member Level.

maybe tell her to log out an back in.
you can also dm people by clicking the ‘chat’ button in almost anyone’s profile.

Basic users now have the ability to chat with people.

DM is different than going to a profile and selecting the button to message someone.
To make a new DM, your friend needs to be a Member Level. It’s not hard to get that achievement, so have them reach those benchmarks, then try again.

Just pointing out the difference between Basic user and a Member user.
Notice that an added privilege of being a member is you can create group messages… Like DMs.

that’s GROUP message tho. you can still direct message ONE person thru chat as a basic member. notice how in Lilcrochet14’s profile, there’s a “chat” button?? that means she is able to DM people. (btw i’m not annoyed or anything, js trying to get the point across!!)

Have her click on the person she wants to dm, and then click “chat”. I’m doing it with you but you can do it with anyone.

@leaders this is closed, she needed to be a member (I think) level to start DM’s
