Other Points of Interest Related to Visitor Messaging:

• When you receive a new visitor message, your blue light up in the upper right hand corner will start flashing.
• To view your visitor message board, click on User CP on the toolbar, then view my profile.

I think I have seen some that may have been better as a PM since they are just that "private"

That is right.. mine is currently set that way.. so anyone that isnt a mod or friend shouldnt be able to see it...
