A BP member “Nancy E” from Bellevue Washington messaged me for help looking at Las Vegas real estate…

I typed a long response and hit send. Instant response Nancy E is set to private and only accepts messages from Colleagues. No problem, I request connection with message saying I can’t answer her until we’re connected…

A couple hours later I get a BP message saying she’s following me and a DM saying sorry, she doesn’t know how the forums work 

Fortunately  I saved my reply so I simply  hit paste.  Unfortunately. She had hit follow, but not connect.  So now I have no way of telling her how to connect us and can’t even tag her in a post.  Is there anyway someone could send her a DM walking her through forming the connection so I can send my reply?  I assume you can’t connect us in case I’m lying. But I would be just a happy to copy and paste her message to me and my response to one of you to forward. Though it wouldn’t solve future communication problems.  

Any help would be great.
