hi all... Real Quick - is it possible to send private messages at all to individuals? Not a spam thing - just wanted to drop a quick note rather than start a whole thread :)

Cheers

Would a PM feature not be valuable though? I understand bandwidth and diskspace on the host, but it's not THAT much!

Being a bit of a web developer myself, i terribly miss features such as Private Messages and other facilities. Although my main line is Graphics work :)

Maybe time to Migrate the forum & posts to another message board? :D

Deano, I'm a PHP/HTML developer and I know from bitter experience that people hate change. UKCS has got a great following thus far and any change to the forum software would go down like a lead balloon.

Another good reason not to change is that it's not a common web app (possibly self built?) so it won't attract the kiddie hackers that other boards such as phpBB, etc have to suffer.

That said, a simple PM facility shouldn't take too long to build - but is it worth everyones time and effort when people can be contacted via the team directly?

Please don't add a PM facility, I like the chatroom! I'll be all alone in there if we have a PM button. (No-one will want to send me a PM!)

But only if the person you want to send a message to is actually in the chatroom at the same time

No, there isnt going to be any PM facility I am afraid, we have discussed this, and decided it's not something we wish to add
