Spaceytracy62 Rookie Author Maryland Posts:35 Points:5,370 Joined:Jan 2008	Message Posted: Jan 14, 2008 9:45:01 AM Ignore Spaceytracy62 Report Abuse My mistake I thought you wante to know what to name it and I thought how about just passing thru? Could be a very useful feature. I am enjoying the site even thought new sites are always confusing to me at first.
Chevyt98 Champion Author Toronto Posts:10,522 Points:886,350 Joined:Feb 2007	Message Posted: Jan 13, 2008 9:08:01 PM Ignore Chevyt98 Report Abuse The new messaging between buddies is good - have used it to send messages back and forth to a couple of people. I was sceptical but can now say I do like it. It's private. You decide if you want someone to be able to send messages to you. Can get to know people on a more personal basis if you choose to do so. Well done.
itches Rookie Author Long Island Posts:1 Points:125,270 Joined:Oct 2005	Message Posted: Jan 13, 2008 11:15:48 AM Ignore itches Report Abuse Waste of Time... I don't think it ever would be necessary to contact another member to chat about gas prices, if it comes to that I will be sure to rid the world of my existence first. Perhaps you should consider shaving your payroll instead of "upgrading" the site with idiotic features [Edited by: itches at 1/13/2008 11:18:21 AM EST]
spheremaker1 Champion Author Arizona Posts:1,038 Points:1,155,360 Joined:May 2006	Message Posted: Jan 13, 2008 10:56:31 AM Ignore spheremaker1 Report Abuse I can not imagine the need to contact another member, and If I did, would be because I knew that person and would use normal email... I do not do text messaging, nor do I plan to do so.

rizab Rookie Author Ontario Posts:23 Points:12,465 Joined:May 2004	Message Posted: Jan 7, 2008 9:33:27 AM Ignore rizab Report Abuse It's really not that significant because I don't plan on contacting other members. There are better means of direct communication available by any of the several instant messaging programs. That's my two cents worth ... lol

NoJokeOak Champion Author Virginia Posts:17,904 Points:1,458,530 Joined:Oct 2006	Message Posted: Jan 4, 2008 6:22:42 AM Ignore NoJokeOak Report Abuse The label should best describe the product. Any member leaving a message is member messaging... but a directed message to only one other, would be PRIVATE. Clearly, of the two choices, there is but one good answer. The poll results, while democratic, show little forethought.

Can you look up at the top of the page and see it's in place? I don't know why they don't lock this thread since the name has already been picked and the program running.
