Could we please have a messaging system ? At least, if you dont want to get messages from anyone, you would have the option to turn that off. I'd rather come here to get them than to give my email to a multitude of people.
What do you all think?
I was trying to find Fred's email and there is none listed. It made me think of this option.
Thanks for considering!
Agree, a PM system (like the one over at Piano World) is super handy. One can have private side bars with other members whilst retaining one's anonymity if so desired. (PW limits a member to the creation of 200 new PM threads, after which the member must delete one or more to create a new one. There is no way to ignore PMs but I haven't found that to be an issue. Multiple members can be on a PM which is sometimes useful).
Here is another vote for private messaging.
This is the only forum I am on that doesn't have it. It is very handy. It allows you to share email adresses or other information with a selected individual without sharing it with the whole forum (or any casual visitor reading a thread). I believe it also helps to de-clutter threads as members have another method to go off-topic directly with their smaller indtended audience. On the the motorcycle forum I frequent you can block anyone but a moderator or administrator, or you chan choose to accept no PMs from anyone (except mod/admin).
I definitely understand the need for this, and I'll add it to the backlog. I just set up a UserVoice site where folks can rate the ideas we have on the backlog so I can see what's most important to you all and focus my time on those first. I'll post the link in a new thread.
After 30 years in software development I can tell you a simple rule:
The first 90% of a s/w development consume the first 90% of the planned time and budget.
The remaining 10% will normally consume the remaining 90% of the planned time and budget.
