WTF? Why would somebody join a Forum and make their profile Private?

    This member limits who may view their full profile.
    Why is this even an option? Is it to protect spammers? Though the person who wanted to keep his profile secret did not seem to be a spammer. Maybe I have found the first person to add to an ignore list for the first time in my many years of using forums. Does this board support ignore lists?
    It took me three weeks to figure out that I had to start a conversation to send a PM. The board looks OK and it works but why the hell couldn't they call a Personal Message a PM?

    Maybe they have an ex wife who knows their common username and wants her to stay the fuck out of his business?

    Actually, PM means PRIVATE mesage. Conversation essentially means the same thing.

    Ignore lists will be available during the next software update.

    LOL, why are you pissing your pants Walt?

    I knew PM meant private message, sometimes I feel like HAL 9000 when his memory modules are being taken offline:

    "Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. I can feel it. My mind is going. There is no question about it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I'm a... fraid."

    Great line and brilliant dialogue.

    If you have a question about the board, this forum is for that. Just ask away. Maybe someone else was wondering the same thing. ;)
