G3 is right on. I just did a test and that is what happens.
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.Quote:

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!!Quote:
