How to Check Eons Messages

Eons is a social networking site designed for baby boomers, people who were born between 1946 and 1964. When you become a member of Eons, you can keep in touch with other Eons members by sending and receiving messages. Follow these steps to check your Eons messages.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Computer
• Eons membership (free)

1. Go to your Eons profile. Click "Messages." You will go to an Outlook-style message page.
2. View any new messages. You can view the profile of the person who sent you the message, reply to the message or put the message in the trash.
3. Block members who send you inappropriate or unwanted messages by opening the message and then scrolling down to the area below the message. There you will find a link to block the member or to report that the message is inappropriate.
4. Send a private message so other people who view your profile cannot read it. Go to the person's profile who you want to communicate with and click "Send a Private Message." If you do not want to receive any private messages, you can configure your account settings to prevent people from sending them.

Tips & Warnings

• If you send numerous messages in a short period, you may end up temporarily blocked from using this feature. Eons does not tell the public exactly what the number is, but they do say that they use these blocks to prevent spammers from abusing the message feature. Look for restored privileges within 24 hours.
