Just an aside about Private Messages.  They're great and all.  But be careful about what you say in your private message and to whom you are messaging.  Other posters have gotten  caught up in a big mess when their private messages were altered and emailed to other people.  You have no control over your private message once it gets into the hands of someone else.

@Bri369 the same could be said of most anything on the internet.  Copy/Paste.  Also, even these boards here aren't that private.  If you Google the right things, our conversations here will show up.

Yes, I understand that.  

If I send you a PM about someone or something, unless I trust you implicity, you can turn around and send someone that PM or even post it on the board.  

 

Every post here is not private.  They are for all to see.

@Carmie   I am technology challenged to put it mildly and would like to know if you would please  tell me how I would post a comment on the Melly ProBoard?  Do I use the "quick reply box"?  

I got myself signed in, but then it was ..uh-oh, what now.  Thank you for any help!  


@3cupcakes  There is a reply button on the top right of the page or on the bottom right.You can also hit the quick reply button. The other two will give you options to adjust font, color etc.

  Any more questions please ask.


@NicksmomESQ  I have a question. Is anyone else able to see private messages other than the sender and receiver of them (e.g. moderators)?  Very nice job on the new board, esp accomplished in such a hurry. 🙂


@NicksmomESQ I'd ask Icegoddess.  She may know.  It isn't an obvious button on the main page.  Once you get there, I'd exchange phone numbers.  I've already done that here, recently, and one 5 years ago!

@ECBG  I don't understand what you're trying to say. I was asked how to post a comment & I answered the question. Why would we want to exchange phone numbers? Also @Pearlee asked a question & I gave her an answer. Private messages are private unless one of the two parties decides to share it.

I guess I misinterpreted your question.  By "private" message, I thought you meant totally secret where no one but that person could see.

You just quote a question and reply.  It's SO similar!  We just can't cut and paste pictures.  A pic has to be loaded on your computer first.
