What is a PM (Private Message)?
Members of the forums may send private messages (PM) to other members by clicking the “**PM**” link at the bottom of a member’s post on any topic. The message will be seen only by the other member and not by members of the forums at large (although it is fair to point out here that Sugar Quill administrators have access to the text of PMs at all times, if there is ever abuse of the system). Forum members may store up to 20 private messages in the inbox in their control panel. We do not intend the PM system to be a primary form of communication between members. If members become friendly and wish to carry on a detailed correspondence, we ask that conversations move to private email or to a chat service, such as AIM or MSN. Not only are they probably more reliable, but they will help us cut down on bandwidth. We cannot guarantee that your PMs will be in your mailbox for eternity…
