    Currently private messaging is disabled. We will enable it at some point this week.

    Looking forward to getting access to my private messages from the old forum….. my inbox was full of important communications with DAP folks…

    Thanks, Carl

    We have finished examining the structure of the 4000 private messages sent on the old site and we’re now building a system to incorporate the messages into this site. I will update here as we continue to make progress on this.

    Can we do private messaging yet and if we can how do we? I have looked everywhere for it.

    I have also missed using this important community feature. Look forward to it again.

    It is an important missing link for this community, not all words are intended for public viewing.

    Finally this is a feature that we have incorporated into the site. I have been working on it for a while and wanted to test it a bit before I launched it completely. In order to send someone a message you can click on their name (next to any comment) and you’ll be brought to their “profile” page. You can add them as a friend or send a private/public message. They will get a notice in their email of the new private message if they have not disabled notifications. If you want to see if you have any private messages you can click on your name in the right column to be brought to your profile. You can also post statuses that your “friends” can see. This is a whole social aspect to this site that we have been working to incorporate for about 6 months or so.

    At this point the profile pictures are not linked to the rest of the site and I will be working to remedy that.

    Please give me any feedback you may have here and ask any questions.

    Also, if you change your avatar in your profile it will show up throughout the rest of the site. It works in that direction but does not pull what your current avatar is and put it in your profile.

    Gabe, Thanks for working on this. Would it be possible to get a notification of a new PM when I log in with out going to my profile. Unfortunately, you have to remember this is a website for a some of the most un tech savvy folks (not to mention a few down right luddites!). Before anyone takes offense; I am talking about my self! Again, thanks for working on this.

    You have to enable viewing the toolbar, this should be enabled by default on most accounts but if it isn’t enabled please go here: http://flofarm.org/dap/wp-admin/profile.php (after you have logged in) and check the box next to “Show Toolbar when viewing site”. That will show a toolbar across the top of the website that will have a number for your notifications.

    Donn, I enabled your account already.

    Hopefully that helps.
