Hello. I hope you’re all doing well.

I would like to DM a user with a question about a theme.

If I click their theme, then the DM link, I don’t see an envelope button or anyway to actually send a message to another user privately. How do we do this?

There’s a blue button at the top right called Message:

So if there is no blue message button, then that user has turned off messaging I presume?

Possible. The other option if it’s not a sensitive matter is to tag the user in this post with an @ e.g. @temetka
