Visitor Messages in User Profile.
Someone please untangle these for me. I see a Visitor message in my User Profile, so I simply answer it in the message box right there, in essence leaving myself a Visitor Message. I know that's wrong, but it does make it easy to follow.
How is it actually supposed to work? What is the proper way to respond to a Visitor Message so that it creates a "conversation"? And do I really want to know? I love peeling the onion on this site, needing to look at my profile, others' profiles, threads, chats, and PMs in order to keep a quasi-coherent running multi-person and multiple personality conversation going. :emotifaction: <-- will be posting that until it becomes an official M.R. Smiley. |

Since the ability to leave visitor messages is a new feature of the recently installed/upgraded forum software everyone is in the same boat as you. (It is a large boat.)
There are no rules or even suggestions. Your mileage may vary. |

Right-o, but there is a proper way to create a "conversation". Researching, I found that if I click the View Conversation button on the Visitor Message on MY profile, I'm taken to that person's User Profile, and that's where I should leave my reply, thus creating a "Conversation".
But I think I like my way better, replying to messages within my own profile so that everyone can see everything. If everyone's in a boat, I hope they brought their own towels. :emotifaction: <-- will be posting that until it becomes an official M.R. Smiley. Last edited by Taylor514ce; 05-03-2008 at 11:05 PM. |

Your method does sound more logical and easier for everyone to follow what transpired. Ping-ponging between two locations discourages reconstruction.
One should always know where is towel is. I just hope everyone went before we started (and brought their own lunch.) |

I suppose that it's possible to do both: leave an answer in your own profile and send it to the other person.

I didn't realise one could do that (have a conversation with oneself).
Excellent, now I don't have to have all those conversations in my head. Cheers, Marc (For I am Legion, and we're one helluva footy team) |

I find that talking to myself is the only way to guarantee an intelligent conversation.

Just a hint: The profile view is customizable.
It appears Alex has already made use of this feature. |
