I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean. Could you elaborate? Nobody can see your PMs except for you and the person you send it to unless one of you posts it out in the open.

I will elaborate! I did a search on diacetyl. That is what I typed in. Other peoples private messages popped up! I did not know it was a private message until I started reading them. It may be just a freak or something. I just thought it was odd. That is all. I won't be using the pm part of this forum. It could be that the messages were made available. However, it was clearly in someones inbox.

Those aren't private messages (PM's), those are visitor messages. You can leave a visitor message on most member's profiles (if they have the option enabled). Those are public for anyone visiting your profile to see. Private messages are not.

I know this is a very minor issue in the grand scheme of things but I noticed today that a several of the thread tags on 3 of my most visited threads have gone missing. I am wondering if this could be from some upgrade and if there is any way that some of them will come back?? Just wondering, I know all of you guys are busy busy busy. Thanks!!
