    So what do you guys think about the public message system found on the profile page? I'm thinking it ****s and want to get rid of it... There just isn't a real purpose for it and folks seem to be confused with it.

    Anyone got a problem with getting rid of it?

    I don't even know what you are talking about, so I guess I won't miss it.

    Give it the axe, it just "muddies up" yer profile.....if a guy wants to talk with a certain fella, the PM feature works fine...my .02....

    It's sort of pointless since I would just rather use the PM feature instead. It just seems like the profile messages are more like a Squawk Box where "shout outs" occur. And deleting you messages sort of is a pain in the ***. I like all the other new features though!

    It would be OK with me, too. The old PM message feature worked well.

    The new system gives me a notification, and then somehow I can't get the notification icon off the welcome heading???

    And I don't really know if a message sent really got sent? does that make sense?

    No...Please get rid of it.

    I've been getting Profile Messages that look like they were meant to be P/Ms
    And sending a P/M seems like its not as easy as it used to be.
    ( or getting to the appropriate page, or something...)

    Eliminating another source of confusion sounds like a good idea.

    prefer the old PM system.

    I have "header" messages on mine I can't delete for some reason, but then again, I ain't the smartest tool in the box.

    delete it!!!

    Since you asked, I don't see any reason to post the messages for everyone to see, the PM's work great. The Hamb is #1 !! (I guess that's enough *** kissing):rolleyes:
     
  25. Get rid of it, it's ****in' useless.

    I like really like that you throw this stuff off of everybody for thoughts - not beina ******* here - but this is by far the best forum im on - that Public User function does seem a little too 'myspacey' though
    Id vote to bail it
