How do you send a message to your opponent, such as "Good Game" during or immediately after a game? I have gotten some but don't see how to create a message, besides clicking on the members name, but I think there must be a place to send a game specific message.
Thanks in advance for your assistance, and my apologies for such a lame question!!!

When the games is over, you cannot send an in-game message, but you can allways send a message thru RHP's mail system.
Go to "My Home" at the red bar, chpose "My Messages" and from there send a message.

During the game, you can send ingame messages - click on "Message your opponent", right under "Submit move". When the game is finished, have a look at "My Home" - "My Home". The game will show up there in the list of games finished in the last seven days, and if your opponent sent you a message with the last move, you can see the message there together with a link that creates a PM to your opponent with the game number in the title and a link to the game in the message box.
Thanks for the responses, I did notice that at time there was a button to click during the game, but didn't see it when I wanted to send a message, Thanks again!!!

Actually, I think there is a button, but only if your opponent sends you a message on the last move. In that case if you look at your list of games you'll see the final message and a "return message" button that you can use to reply. I don't know if it posts a reply on the game though, or just sends it through the message system.

It appears that some people responding to your original question might be mixing up two different messaging systems that are available.
I think you are asking about 'in-game' messages, which are the ones that appear above the chess board. You can only send an 'in-game' message when you submit a move. If it's not your turn to move, you will not have that option. There is a message log that is maintained on the game page and you can review it at any time.
The PM system is an internal e-mail system and has nothing to do with a game. You can PM anyone at any time regardless of whether you are playing a game with them or not.
