    That was a Visitor message....when you clicked on his user name it took you straight to his profile and thats where his visitor messages are.....those messages are public.......you have to send a PM for a private message.

    All I know is, from a very good source the pm's were altered. A certain web address looked like this xxxxxxxxx.com in Private Message. I wasnt involved in alot of this riffraff, but what I hear dont seem right. Oh Well, see yall around.

    Go up about 7 posts and re-read Slab's explanation. Its like when I change my signature, it changes it everywhere from my 1st post on and if it happens to be anywhere else it will change it too.

    I guess some folks do not realize that everything ever typed on the internet is stored somewhere, and can be found.
    Not to worry, one guy in the boat can always out fish the other on the same honey hole, cus he is just a better fisherman.

    I'm glad Slab has now turned that feature OFF. It showed up automatically after a vBulletin software upgrade with no instructions or warnings. Not knowing the difference between these "visitor messages" and a PM, I accidentally posted a few messages to what turned out to be a public location...viewable by anyone who hit the profile page of my recipient. I didn't mean for these messages to be public but couldn't delete them!!

    Yeah, that was definitly a bad feature. I really can't think of any good use for it.
