Over on our sister site BlackajckTournaments.com, we've had some problems with the new Visitor Profile Messaging feature.

Basically, this feature was added a few updates ago, and it is all too easy to make a mistake and send a user a publicly viewable "Profile Visitor Message" when your intention was to send a private message.

I think the risk of inadvertently revealing something publicly which was intended for a private message outweighs any minor benefit of having a profile message board under each user.

As a result, I have disabled this feature entirely.

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, don't worry about it.

Carry on.
