From technology to politics to video games; these are the random thoughts of a geek with too much time on his hands

A feature that was long asked for on our forums was a private message function so users could get in contact with one another more easily without having to go through the public areas.  Several months ago, we quietly added both PMs and emails via the forum for users.  Well, turns out it was a bit too quiet as I get the feeling most of you still don't know it's there, sitting in the menus and header bars you probably don't click on very often.

Well, our very own Celebrity of teh Intarwebs, Island Dog, has put together another great walkthrough article complete with both words AND pictures, to show you the ropes of these new-ish features.  So click the link below, send off a few messages, and enjoy!

Thanks for the reminder, Zoomba. I've received and sent PMs since this feature was introduced. Had to get used to looking up at the header bar where it now says "private messages". Now I usually look every time the page loads. Kind of like my Labs: every month or so I have to "retrain" or remind them of what to do... Me too, if I don't get a lot of PMs.    A great feature!
