You can now send messages behind the scenes to other forum members on cycling74.com. Simply click the "Message this User" link below their name on a forum thread, or from their profile page. If you just want to test it out, feel free to bombard me with messages. Should be fairly self-explanatory. As always, let us know if you run across any issues or have suggestions on how we can make this forum a more fulfilling place to visit.

Hi, cool feature (even if I almost never use PM)!

I don't want to hijack your thread but I'm new to this forum and I experience strange behavior and I guess you must be its admin so : it seems that there's 2 out of sync servers and depending how I navigate the website I'm on one or the other... for instance if I see cycling74.com in the url (a simple ping tells me it's resolved on 67.23.9.214) I know that everything is fine but some links like "your profile" point directly to another one that doesn't know me! :) 67.23.3.6 (without having to go through a DNS server, the links start with the IP address). Idem, if I click directly on the forum link from the index page that's fine but if I click support first I switch on the other one (and threads are out of date)...

EDIT : in fact it's more like if the 2 forums were running in parallel ex : monkeymuffin posted 7h ago a message complaining about a thread he started few day ago and that doesn't appear on "67.23.3.6" and actually both messages don't appear in the "67.23.9.214" forum...

Hi Err0r_500, thanks for the heads up! We've gone in and changed those links. They should be the proper URLs now.

Yeap, thanks everything runs fine now. Visiting the forum is now a total fulfillment :)

Would love to see this implemented in the new forum...

(it's weird how the forums have gone through so many changes... yet there are even less benefits for users than back in 2006. at least bring back the pms.)
