Customize Your Privacy Controls

We have numerous standard controls to protect your privacy.
To get the most out of the site, we recommend that members stick with these standard options.
However, you may want to tweak them to fit your personal preferences.
Here are some of your options:
CONTACT OPTIONS
There are two ways for members to contact you.
You can turn-off the ability for all members to contact you through the site!
1) Email
The site allows other members to send you an email to your email address. You then email them back from your email account. They cannot see your email address until you of course email them back.
- Cut off Email - To cut off the ability for people to email you through the board, visit the 'My Controls' section.
Scroll down until you see 'Options' in the lefthand menu.
Click 'Email Settings'.
Check the box beside 'Hide my email address from other members.'
Click the 'Amend My Email Settings' button.
2) Private Messenger
The Private Messenger allows other members to send a message t to you through the board. The message shows up in your Inbox/Messenger on the site.
The board will notify you of the new message in two ways. It will send you an email notification and/or a pop-up notification on the board. You can change either of these through your
Email Settings or Board Settings.
