1 Overview

Messages are a short communication sent from one user or component of Veloopti to another. They are on your [Profile_view|profile]] page that is found using the silhouette in the top right hand corner of the page. Below is an example of what they look like.

2 Message bubbles

The number of messages that have not been read are visible in the form of a blue message bubble . The number inside the bubble is the number of unread messages that are in your inbox.
