Warning: PM mistake will make conversation public.

I've stumbled upon a problem with the new forum layout.

You must be certain to click on the messages tab on someones profile page to be sure you are starting a private conversation.

After you click on someone's profile page, you immediately see an open and inviting dilogue box waiting for you. You might start typing in it assuming you are creating a private message but, you are not. You are actually typing onto their profile page in a non-private way. It's similar to posting onto someone's wall on Face Book.

I have read conversations between members that are obviously intended to be private including personal information that does not need to be available online for the entire internet to see. I hope everyone is aware of the need to protect ones personal info.

I sent PM s to the parties involved.

(I also contacted @Krebsie and he quickly deleted these messages. Thanks @Krebsie.)

And, if you happen to feel like the exposure of certain aspects of your personal info is of no consequence, please do your best to respect/protect the privacy of other members who may wish to guard their information as closely as possible.

    Nope. Doesn't have that same ring to it as Dammit Darrin!

    Yeah, the profile page has a comment section kinda like a "wall"  that is visible to everyone.

    That's where they get sidetracked.

    Thanks Bob, good to know.

    Yes, @Bob-Luken, that IS good to know. I see I've made that mistake a buncha times already. 

    Hey, @Krebsie, is there any way to simplify that aspect of PMs?  For this oldfart, at least, it's really confusing. Thanks in advance....  B)

    Bumping this.  There are many public addresses right now, just an FYI.

    Another way to message is of course by going to "inbox" in the menu and create a new message.  Then there's no way that you post it on the recipient's profile as opposed to a private message.

    The other member on who's page the the mistake was made, may be able to delete the message.

    Bumping for those who have recently posted to the public wall instead of a private PM.

    I disagree. It will be totally private, put whatever you want on your wall, we won’t look....I promise!

    With every electronic device out there spying on us this just makes sense.

    Still waiting for elderly lady in Worms, Nebraska to plug her brand new computerized 10 appliances in one toaster and it all becomes connected and "THEY" take over.

    Cause, I have that recipe.

    Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.

    It would behoove my position to get them nachos. Best be prepared for some unfriendly fire.
