Sometimes when I click View Public Profile, I'm taken to a tab called Visitor Messages within that profile. Other people don't seem to have this tab, and I go straight to the About Me section of their profile.

Why do some of us have this extra tab, while others don't? I don't have it and I'm wondering why.

I had something for this...
It's a setting in your profile, Blinkk.

User CP > Your Profile > Profile Privacy > Visitor Messages

There are a number of choices available. Save changes & voila! :)

If a member has the Visitor Messages disabled, then they won't show. To enable/disable visitor messages go to your CP, then to Edit Options. On that page you'll see a section about Visitor Messages. Either check the box to enable them, or uncheck to disable. Don't forget to then go to the bottom of the page and click 'Save Changes'.

Aww, see that? I spoke too soon.

Next time I'll just think about baseball...

Ehh, it's all part of having quick wit.

*bad pun*

Thanks JVC and QW. Got it now. :)

I’ve been wondering the same thing. I thought that privacy setting meant non-members could send me messages. Now I’ve stumbled on this thread, I finally feel like a full-fledged member! With a blank wall… :cry:

I guess it helps to ask. :D

I think the default is to have them off. I was wondering the same thing and only recently found that setting myself :)

Your wall shouldn't be blank now!
