Member Profiles

[Guest]

Is it just me? When I click to see someone's 'public profile' I don't get any info they may have put on about themselves or their car, just something about 'visitor messages'

Click on "About me" and the other tabs to the right of "visitor messages" to get more details.

Only tabs to the right are 'Mini statistics', 'Friends', and 'Recent visitors'.

What am I not doing????????

Who's profile are you trying to view?
They might not have any "about me" info registered to their account and thus the tab won't show up.

Ok, and what's a 'visitor message' ? Cos it's not the same as a PM!

[Oli]

It's a visitor messaging system that allows members to send messages to one another publicly.
IE, things you don't mind other people reading!

[Guest]

Isn't that what the forum's for?


Don't mind me, had a heavy weekend!

[Oli]

Well yeh, to some degree. But this is for more casual stuff that others won't want the forum being clogged up with.

Forgot to mention this a little while back - but we've disabled the 'visitor messages' - we there was some confusion as to what they were for (at least one case of using them (public) instead of a PM (private) - oops!)

We also had a couple of complaints of them being used inappropriately. One complaint was the visitors messages being used for 'spam' (although another user saying "hi" isn't *technically* spam).

So anyway, they weren't that useful, and they'd be impossible to moderate properly, so they're gone!

I hold my hand up that was me saying Hi to Gareth I assume. Hardly spam unless the user is paranoid
