I was setting up my fantasy baseball team on yahoo tonight, and they’ve got a box called “Note to Self” where you can make, well, notes to yourself. I was wondering if this kind of thing was available as an option on VB boards. I do use my computer’s notepad function for this sort of thing occasionally, but I use multiple computers to post, and I don’t always have access to my saved notes. Just wondering. ---

Well, it’s not as convenient as the Yahoo function, but you could always send yourself a private message. I just tried it and it does allow you to make yourself the recipient. ---

The PM might work, but can someone tell me if the thing I’m talking about is possible with VB? ---
