Help/FAQ/Other Users

How do I contact a user if I only know his username?

You can find it by rank. In your user profile, click on its position in the rank. In the window that opens, there is a search field, where it says Search username. Enter the user name and click search. Note that the name must exactly match the user (no matter, however, if the letters are uppercase or lowercase). If you have trouble finding it, you can ask for help from other users in the forum. Maybe some of us may find the desired user.

How can I find out the email address linked to a user account?

You can not. This information is private. You will not find any e-mail here. The only way is to ask the user, by sending him a message.

I have a disagreement with another user. What should I do?

Bring the items to the forum. We will mediate the "ceasefire" between you and another user.
