I've uploaded a new update which improves the private messaging features - now you'll be able to see messages that you've sent as well as messages you've received. This is not a retroactive change - only new PMs will be visible all the time.
Try it out!
To send someone a PM, click on the PM link above each message. It's normally to the right of the profile link. It has an envelope and TWO people on it, not just one.
To view private messages that you've received, click on the "my profile" link above, next to the register, faq, and forum home links.
Please experiment and TRY and break the system - the more bugs we can find now, the less work I'll have to do later.
Thanks, and have fun!
*edit* Oh, and note that the 'sent' PMs will probably be moved to their own page in the future...

New - now you can see not only your sent private messages (now on their own page) - you can see if the recipient has actually read the PM!

I *think* I just used it, but I'm not too sure.

I used it! I used it! I used it!
It will enhance my cyber-surveillance scheme immensely!
Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
Well someone's been using it. I've already gotten three messages...
Posted by Charles Capps (Member # 9) on :
Good. Thanks for testing it out, folks.
Posted by Jeff Kardde (Member # 411) on :
How do you check it again ... ?
Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :
To check private messages...
Simply click on the My Profile link in the top right-hand corner of the top of the page. Once there, you be transported to a mystical world of private message and profile updating!

Wow. Flare v3. I never thought I would see the day. This is what I get for being gone for months at a time.
Hey, Charles, I've been trying to finde a 'custom title' hack for my site's UBB v6.04. Could you help me out? Thanks. Posted by Black Knight (Member # 134) on :
...or better yet, I could use a private message! Posted by Tahna Los (Member # 33) on :
A suggestion?
Perhaps place a note in the main page informing a member if he/she has any private messages?
People don't seem to actually check unless they are told to do so.
Posted by Shik (Member # 343) on :
The email notification works...but it gives you the entire text of the message, so there's no point in reading the message.

OK, don't know if this is a bug or just some loser with his head up his ass, but I have two PMs sent to me on the 15th & 16th of June, from Zor Prime. Whoever the fuck that is.
First one:
Hi Baby
It's spelled SHIT, not shite. Learn english before you think to speak.
- now, this might conceivably be addressed to me. If it is, then it just goes to show what an ignorant retard this person is, is all.
Second one:
Babydoll
hiya babydoll. look, i know you like the shite stuff, but look, honestly, i'm not gay, so don't email me again with that stuff ok. i don't know how you got my email but stop.
- Which means absolutely nothing to me.
Can anyone clarify, or should I just start being really nasty to this person?

I think you've got a stalker.

ANOTHER one? 8)
Posted by Charles Capps (Member # 9) on :
PMing is an intentional act, he'd have to had addressed them to you...
Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :
Well, who were they from? These things do have names, you know.

Now, granted, I haven't been around Flare aside for the Officer's Lounge & Flameboard for awhile, but that name sounds a tad familiar. And doesn't one have to be a registered Flare user to send a PM? Charles, time to break out the ban gun.

Zor Prime posted a link to an article he wrote for another Web site. That was technically spam, so I removed the link, upon which he got angry and left. He was also unhappy that I called the article inaccurate (it was, though, and I can write at length why), but when I tried to contact him to explain, he had removed his email address and turned off private messages.
Posted by Charles Capps (Member # 9) on :
Sounds familiar. Pay the boy no attention...
Posted by Vogon Poet (Member # 393) on :
And for this I get the blame?! Jeez, OK, so I raped a few cattle and stampeded a few women in my time, doesn't mean I'm a bad person, y'know. . .

I'm still having disturbing thoughts about the "babydoll" part.

I'm sorry if this is an old question, but when do I become a senior member? I thought it was 300 posts. If this is stated somewhere else, sorry, for the life of me I couldnt find it.
