Here ?


 Yep.



 That's why I haven't posted here much. I have to log back in almost every 30 seconds.

Really? I have no idea what would cause that.

Which is fair enough, though you have to know that hacks for reading PMs have existed as downloadable resources for many years, openly hosted in many cases. SMF was the only board software that wouldn't host hacks of that description, but even their devs admitted it was more than possible someone might commission the efforts of a competent scripter to create such hacks on an ad hoc basis.



Personally I don't care either way. A good many of the boards I've posted at had admins who weren't above installing the "Read PM" hack, along with "Post As User" hack, "Edit Timestamp" hack and a ton more besides. If a board was slow to update its software to the latest version (Brawl Hall was always a release or two behind the latest version) I'd interpret that as an indicator that various hacks had been installed that newer software would break the functionality of. In any event, you don't even strictly need a hack as most software stores such messages unencrypted as I understand it, meaning you can literally read  PMs in plain text from the backup. That might have changed in recent times; regardless, you can trust an admin all you like to adhere to the social mores of not poking about your inbox, but at the end of the day all that communication is something you have entrusted to someone else to do the right thing by. You really have no cause for complaint if that trust was misplaced.



Simple solution? Do NOT use the PM system, rather use an off-site messaging system hosted by a third party concern. It's still open for abuse of course, the person you are sending the PMs to can leak them, but you will at least be exempt from your message board admin poking about data which (for what it's worth) is effectively HIS property since he's paying the hosting charges.



Just a little perspective for you by friend.

There is no excuse for an admin reading pm's. I would never login to any forum again if an admin did that to any poster once.






Yeah that's wild. I've never been that invested in this stuff





Bra1n used to do that shit. Caused a lot of problems too

Hmmm. This was a set up. SMH

If it was, it was clever.

I was curious so took a look at BF. The Shoutbox is a nice feature. SG had that too.



I see Lotusbud is a regular. I tried engaging her in civil debate when she was here, but she would have none of it.

Yeah this forum package needs an overhaul. Lots of features people really seem to enjoy don't seem to be available



or maybe it's just that I've never worked with this forum software in the past. Dunno.

I wish we could make it look like BF or SG. Maybe it is not possible.

I'll look into it.



It may require a transition from probb to something like an SMF or the layout BF uses



I was about to do such a transition before Erica decided to keep this site alive ... thankfully, as I was pretty busy with other stuff at the time.

This site is nowhere near as easy as SG was to work with.





I never really learned how to use the panel. Bonesaw did all that stuff for me
