Would make things much easier, like giving someone your phone number  for example.

Two things concern me.

One.  How much would it cost?

And

Two  Assuming it was a member of the opposite sex even how would i know she wasn't a minger before she turned up.

Otherwise if you can get the details ironed out, great plan.

It might cut out some of the chatter. You know the sort of stuff "Did you go and price that job last week?" etc thats of no interest to anyone except the people involved.

I think they may listen at one point as the forum will go down the pan if they stagnate it, every other forum out there lets users have a PM. This place needs to evolve
People are already leaving here and not returning.

Jason seems to get getting things done now :)

I voted 'no'!  I don't want to be bothered by people unless I want them to bother me about something.  In which case I'll post my e-mail address.  ;D ;D

Anyway, the reason why we haven't got them is because someone set up another cleaning forum, and then people from there were coming here and PMing everyone to join their site.

It wasn't really cricket.  It may also lead to a more 'cliquier' site too.

You'd probably let the worst looking minger down though Slumpy when you turned up  ;D

'Ay Slumpy, I dreamt about you last night, did you dream about me?'  ;)

I would like PMs - with the option to block particular users.
As has been suggested, it would savre having to publish phone numbers in an open forum.  Unfortunately some childish idiots around here find it necessary to be nuisance callers.  It probably isn't even people who post regularly for all I know.

PM's can be moderated. emails can't. make PM the preferred metthod of contact between members and then it can be kept under control.

Ive never understood why its not there in the first place, works fine on all other cleaning forums, and it cant make it go any slower than it already does..... ::)

My own take on this is that it is about money.  If PMs are being used to do deals, it potentially takes revenue away from the site owner.  The only problem I have about that is that no-one will be honest and up front about the reasons.  Of course, I could be wrong.

Well there used to be them on here, but they were taken away.

Can't see any reason why they would be re-instated. There must have been a good reason.
