Hi to All,
I am one of the newbies on the forum and I am still finding my way round.
I was wondering if there is a way to send personal messages to other members as I have not seen a way to do this.
I am a member of other forums and they all seem to have this facility.

Hi John, (Lindy and Teresa)
John, that is how I would have typed up an answer here, so well said to you!
Yes, this should stay as an open Forum for everyone so there is no 'secrets' known among some members over others. It is splitting the Forum into 2 areas rather than a shared community. To me this may cause unwanted problems with members.
Yes, I also agree that a PM system can be more bother than it is worth at times - it can be misused by some people with an alternative agenda. There is a lot of blogging going on here, and to me that makes a forum worthy of its cause, and it is to be shared by all members. It is interesting to hear of peoples experiences which are close to their hearts.
Forums cost a lot of money to run/maintain (I have a friend who has a Photography Forum so that is how I know) and it is a time consuming thing to do - and 'some' members need to use any Forum as it is meant for - not for other reasons of their own.
I rather know that the RSPB Forum (or any other ''Wildlife' Forum) is used for the purpose that it was created in the first place.
Just my own opinions.
Kathy and Dave.
