Could you install a PM component. I use JIM, incorporated with FireBoard. They have integration with Joomlaboard (which you use). It allows direct contact between members without having to post threads, and without compromising user's e-mail addr.

For example. In a post, there was somebody who said they're about an hour away. I didn't have a way to contact the individual so I had to post my e-mail addr and the user contacted me that way. With a PM I could have just msged over and he could have chosen to msg back or not, and I wouldn't have had to show everybody my e-mail.

I'm not familiar with Joomlaboard, but like Fireboard, a lot of these integrated boards don't have the full features that full boards have (Invision, PHPBB, SM...something). Unfortunately.

If you want to take a look at mine, its http://meinc.us. Thanks!

Hello Mark,

I'll check with Dave this week about adding the PM component to the site.

Sweet! Thanks for the reply.

Other contact info would be good too, messenger, and e-mail(if the user wants to show it). Most sites have your location listed under their name (a commonly asked question).

Feel free to e-mail if you have any questions on it. I run Joomla on my site. Thanks again for the reply.

A private messaging component has been installed.

You will see a little "private messages" section on the left hand navbar now up above the main menu.

To you use, click on "private messages". It'll give you a form to fill out that asks for the username of the person you want to send a note to and the contents of your message.

That is it. Pretty straight forward.

Thats not private messenging for us. Thats PM for you, the admins. When I click it, it says "Not quthorized", but it probably works for you.

You need to add PM's, not thru Joomla, but rather thru Joomla Board. I don't think Joomla Board has it built in, so you'll need to install a component. Something like JIM or the such.

But thanks for trying to appease. Much appreciated.

It should be working now. I had to adjust the permissions on it.
