This forum is kept safe and secure... The reason none of you get spammed, hacked or otherwise abused is because I spend a lot of time keeping the forum secure...
One of the biggest problems with forums is the member lists being harvested by spam bots... (Spam bots also search for emails in posts...) As many members seem unable to secure their own accounts from their own forum profile it is easier to simply not have a member list visible to all and sundry... Member privacy is a high priority on this forum...
As Petrea says, just find a post by the person you want to PM and click on their name. In the profile you will see a link to message them and also their email address if they have allowed it to be visible from their profile settings... This is secure because only a registered member can see the profile of another member and send PMs to them...
Another problem with forums is badly worded post titles like this one... It makes it useless for other members as it will never be found in any search results easily
