Private Messages?

I am curious as to why there is no PM feature to this message board. I am sure it has been discussed before, but is it something that can be enabled, or is there a specific reason as to why it is not offered? Thanks.

At one time it was noted that PM’s took up too much bandwidth.

this is unrelated but why aren’t public e-mail addresses allowed? if i end up joining another company, could i change my AF e-mail?

setting up a full-featured forum isnt so difficult specially the free ones are pretty powerful, my latest favourite is Dicuz, can always go phpbb or IPB. i think supporting graphics upload will be huge when we are discussing topics related to rates curves yields etc

Good question. I have been wondering this myself. I wouldn’t wanna loose the goodwill attached to my ID :slight_smile: JDV, can you throw your weight around and get an answer to this one :slight_smile:

I think the email can be changed .It appears in a textbox. on a side note … I thought it would be a good idea if a sticky thread for introducing each member could be started. There are two or three threads with a similar concept floating around ( SkipE99 's who is we … ssdnola’s What school you went to ) All these can be consolidated into a single sticky. I even shot a mail to Chad, but I did not get a reply. aks2010
