    yes, but when you make these changes you can't see how your profile looks to the various groups such as friends, guests etc.
    there is a link somewhere (can't remember where) that allows you to view certain info as 'guest' but the link needs to be on the main profile page.
    when you click on the suggested link then your profile reverts to the one as the clicked on group would see it.

    I know which one you mean, that's just on the Contact Info unfortunately. To know what's being seen currently needs to log out and view it, however the options in the User CP for privacy relate to each of the Tables that exist on the page. It will be up to one of the main Administrators to look into to add such a link unfortunately.

    Click the "Send New Message" link in your User CP, or if you are navigating someones profile click the Contact Info tab. You'll have the option to post "A visitor message" or send a Private Message.

    Okay here's a step by step. This assumes you've joined a group (otherwise I'm going to have to create those steps and I kind of missed them... oops)

    Step 3:
    Select a Social Group to Join or Participate in. (If you are joining you will be given the option to join the group *If* the person who created the group didn't decide to make it "Invite Only". They might have chosen "Moderation" which means they decide on if you can join or not, so you might not be able to access the group straight away.)

    We need some time to adapt I guess.

    However, if you want to send PM, you can do that via Send Message menu right below Usertitle. You'll get two options: Visitor Message (visible) or Private Message.

    well yeah, we can adapt, but what about new users?
    i suppose it'll all come together.
    great job on the new look plasma, i really like it.

    ok, i'll try that and see how it works.

    Well I guess new members will adapt easily. They're tabula rasa, but we're bit rusty.

    Today, I automatically logged in with one of my socks. The site treated the sock as if it was Enmos, with the same friends etc..

    That is super cool! I don't have to update the previous sciforums photo album, then

    Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!

    So, how to make the (group) photo album in this new feature?

    Great job, Stryder!

    p.s.: I'm afraid I can't login again for next couple of days to check the reply, I have no internet at home at the moment, and I feel a bit warm, like going to have fever.
