ZWExton The functionality I'd like to see is the ability to start a private conversation/thread from a user's profile page. On this thread, for example, if I want to privately tell jrock that he's a cheeseball or something, I want to be able to click his name and launch a conversation from there. My understanding right now is that I need to back out of the thread, start a new thread, then enter him as the only recipient? > And then do these private threads appear in the list with all the public threads? Yucky.
I think that was how it was set up in FGI after it was migrated to the new and now defunct platform. Seems like there was still some awkwardness in that set up. The original FGI format was great. You could easily PM or email another member.
