JC,
Add my vote for keeping the pm message board up and running. It is so nice to just click on the members profile and then click on send pm and leave a message for the member and having the option where when you log in a pop down window comes down and tells you that you have a pm is even nicer. Everyone just needs to try it one time and they will see how great this feature is. Please do not remove it.
Thanks,
Warren
Fly fishing and fly tying are two things that I do, and when I am doing them, they are the only 2 things I think about. They clear my mind.
