don't want to hear...what, exactly?! i know there's an email member function on the site, i was asking about private messaging, precisely because i'm aware that most people on here have no interest in the hassle i've had from a certain moderator on this site. and spurtacus, sorry but i won't let it go. if you'd been treated the same way, i doubt if you'd want to let it go until you'd gotten some sort of an honest response either. what's the big feckin deal anyway - even if you read every single post i've ever made on this site it couldn't possibly take you more than about 5 minutes; it's not as if i'm taking up valuable, limited space, and it's not as if this is exactly the most active forum in the world. to be honest, if i wasn't the one getting pissed on by moderator/admin types, i'd actually find the whole thing quite entertaining... maybe the admin should consider adding a private message function to the site, it'd be very handy...

This messageboard is running on free software called Snitz Forums. As far as I'm aware (correct me if I'm wrong Eoghan), it does not have a facility for private messaging built in by default. Its probably possible to program a PM add on, but that would be too much work by half as its a feature I don't think is really essential. There is a facility for people to put their ICQ/AIM/MSN in their profile and have other users see if they are online in those clients so if someone has those in their profile you can contact them that way.

There are actualled some PM scripts developed to add on to this discussion board. I looked into them a while back but decided against implmenting one considering, as Binokular correctly points out, members are all free to put their ICQ/AIM/MSN in their profile. eoghan
