Hi Mark,

The site is great. 

Do you have any suggestions for a way to safely contact other members to learn more about their case as often details of their case directly impacts our individual cases.

Is it best to simply post an email address and say contact me?  There is a worry of collectors contacting people and of being spammed though with this.  I would never post a phone number as that would be open season for a collector.

Is it theoretically possible to leave messages for other members with the present board software?  Ie If I wanted to contact a member I would right click on their user name and could send them a message.  I would not learn their actual email or name but the site could forward a message to their registered email or leave them a message for the next time they logged in.   I think ebay buyer seller messaging works something like this.   If this option was done the site user could have an option of disabling all messages if they want to.

I also realize that we do not want to make the upkeep or cost of the site any greater.

I am just thinking outload.  Mark you are the expert here.  How do you recommend we safely contact other members if we want to learn more about their case to see if it applies ot us?   Your suggestions would be most appreciated.

Thanks again for the excellent site!

Thanks for your suggestions... I dont have a way to allow members to contact others... the use of a private messaging function would overwhelm the size of the database.

When I first started the site I had peoples addresses available, but then collectors started harvesting them and posing as members... so I had to turn that off too to protect members.

Wish I could be more helpful, but I have to maintain people's privacy.... and serenity...


Mark
