Wink OT - hey, tomsteve & all of you that changed your PM settings :)

I can't reply to PM's if you have that box unchecked on your side.

I know we had some trolling issues last week which forced this to come up but just wanted to let you know - if you've sent pm's & aren't getting replies..... it's likely due to this change.

But all you need to do is add the person as a contact / friend and once they've accepted then PMs can be sent. Just stops random trolls spreading their quirky love letters into your private space.

Yes- but with that setting enabled you can still SEND to non-contacts & they can receive/read the messages... they just can't reply.

I just didn't want peeps to think they weren't getting responses to sent messages - & that on the other side you can reply if you send a contact/friend request & they accept.

Just my little PSA for the week.

I also changed my settings so now only people who are friends with me can pm me.
Send Tom a friend request and once you two are friended, you can talk via pm.

Wow, there's some sad people in the world if you are trolling a drug/alcohol recovery forum. Can you sink any lower?

I have to agree, but I also would have to say this is FAR from the first time we've had a troll in our midst. FAR from it, as some of you who've been around for a while will remember, I'm sure...

That one was especially nasty. Not only s/he wrote some crazy stuff in public but they also impersonated members in good standing like Tom and Mindfulman to send some horrible hateful messages to newcomers

...and tomsteve, if you send me a PM, I can't write back...

You guys all locked down your PM box because of that one incident? Hmm.

Don't let the terrorists win!!

Tomsteve, I'll send you a friend request.
