New Forum Stuff Again - Instant Messaging and Private Messages
You can now leave private messages to a member by hitting the PM graphic next to their name and on the home page of the forums, you can check your messages. This way if you don't want to show your email, you can still get mail through te forum private messages.
Secondly, there is a somwhat version of instant messaging, you can instant message another user who is online the graphic is at the top of that persons post, the drawback is that after you send the message the user has to go to another page on the forum for the instant message to be shown to them, so slightly instant.
We'll see, I'll fix as we go along.
