I thought I was the only one who had “User CP”.

Right-- mine says User ITD
Duh. I wondered why I never got any. Turns out I didn’t have them turned on. Fixed now! Duh.

I’ve had one private message. Just one. I always figured private messages were pretty much the province of the popular kids.

Sign up for Feud notifications; you’ll get lots of practice dealing with PMS.
I don’t mean to give you PMS, Scarlett. Just PM’s. Heh! 
Well, I decided to put on my PM mode since I never did before, inspired by you, and what do you know, I found that you can opt to have 
smilies and things that I never knew how to make before! :rolleyes: You are going to hate me until the shine wears off! :eek:

Is this a joke? I thought we could only have 50 PMs total?!

It was a very vague “HA!” I can’t be blamed.

You’ve had one more than me.
(And no, don’t PM me in sympathy to get my PM count up, please!)

Dude, you might want to have a mod edit your link, I can see your private messages.

The link (if it were in the message) would point to http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/private.php? – so it would point to the PMs of whoever was logged on to the computer.

And I can see your underpants.
yeah, I didn’t know about PM’s either - then a Doper asked why I hadn’t replied.
Then I didn’t know I could get an automatic notification - I finally turned that on a couple of months ago…
Trust me, you are NOT alone in your Message Board ignorance - we need that fought as much as the General Questions we all know and love!
Holy guacamole, I had no idear! I’ve now turned mine on. So the next time I get hauled into The Pit somebody can tell me so I can join the fun while it’s still fresh!
