Thread: Visitor Messages

I have another suggestion here.My oppinion is to create another section in the profiles of every member of this forum(like Feedback,Statistics,About me...)named Visitor Messages(or something like this) which contain messages from the members that visit your profile.

That will be a nice way to communicate with your friends in this forum without sending a private message.

This option could be used from anything starting with a nice welcome and ending with serios disscusions(that can be shown to the public) in the profile of each user.



Any toughts?

Do you mean something like 'the wall' in facebook? I don't really see what would be the benefit of something like that.. Then you'd have to check for pm's, for new posts, AND for new wallposts..

Hy nehpets!I'm not a member of facebook so I don't know what do you mean.

What I wanted to say is that any member can post a visitor message for a member that he visited.

This thing doesn't really bring any benefits for the members but at least bring a little more communication for the friends from this forum...

Also,when you have received a visitor message,you can be announced just like when you receive a private message.

Moreover,I don't think is that hard to check the newest ads and posts since you last visit.

Just my oppinion.

Nice idea but I can't see that working unless there was a way to lock it down so that only repped members could post a message.

Of course!Only repped members will have acces to this feature!

Yes!This is a good point too!Maybe not all the users want this option...
