Any volunteers to help the technically challenged?

Or if you look on the left handside of your FB page you should have 'messages', click on that , in the search box put the name of the person you wish to message a box will open in which you type your message then click send.. that should work too.

To find people look at the blue line at the top of the page , there is a search box... type in the name of the person and you will get a long list of people with that name.. it sometimes helps if you also type in where they live , otherwise you have to search through the list of names and pics till you recognise someone..

Hope this helps

On the top left of your FB page you should see your name together with you profile picture. Click on your name and it will open up your "timeline".
On that page, a little way down on the middle right you will see "Friends". Either click on "see all" or "friends" to bring up the complete list of your "friends".
Click on the one that you want to contact and that will open their "page" where you will find a button near the top right that says "message". Just click on that and a separate box will open up so that you can send a message just to that person.
And that should be "job done" - hope this explains it for you, do let us know
