That looks cozy - it is getting to be that season again - good thing I bought two bundles of wood recently.

I stay logged out and read as a guest, unless I wish to post something, then I log in. Those PM’s from all the girls claiming to be my biggest fan gets to be too much at times. :)
PMs... as in private messages? How does that work?
I have only found a function called "Conversation" and those appear to be read by anyone if they go to your profile page.

Or, am I missing something?

You're right, it's now called "conversation," and I believe they are still private between the parties. Must have been a flashback on my part. :)

They used to be called PMs (correct me if I am wrong, Moderator ) now they are called "Conversations"

Unless it means a message people can leave on your profile page, but that is not really a PM, as anyone can see that (unless the person limits who can see their page).

They were called Private Messages (PMs) on the previous software but are now called Conversations and those are only visible to those who have been sent them. Profile messages, though, can be seen by anyone who is logged in. If you haven't had a chance to look through it yet, you might want to go to the Message Board User Guide as there is a lot of helpful information about how to use different functions of the Message Board including a section on Private Messaging (Conversations).

I did quickly read through a Help section somewhere.
I will take a better look using the link you posted. :nerd:
