When did this PM thing started?

I just saw Elyse%26#39; post, PM is available on this forum now? Was it a long time already, I simply didn%26#39;t know!

Or it%26#39;s just new... if it%26#39;s new, it%26#39;s a GREAT feature we should have had LONG time ago!

Great work Tripadvisor!

When did this PM thing started?

Yes, it just started. I actually received PMs from other members even before the email from TripAdvisor informing us of the new feature reached me! :)
