<title>Message to all Registered Members</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As it is not very obvious to Registered Members of the forum that each user has their own little section where various options can be changed, here are a few details that may assist you.</p>
<p>I would suggest that Registered Members go to their user data section on the Message Board and make sure the options which are available are set as you would like them.</p>
<p>How to change your options<br />
In order to change your options, you first of all must be logged in, then you will notice your user name appears near the top of the page, this is a link to your user data area where you can change your options. When in this area you will see another link titled &quot;Edit user data&quot;.</p>
<p>Private Messages<br />
By default when a new member registers the setting is NOT to &quot;Show e-mail link&quot;.<br />
If you can not find an email link (envelope icon) next to a message posted by a registered member, it means that the member in question has either decided not to &quot;Show e-mail link&quot;, or has not changed this option in their user data section.</p>
<p>Your email address is not shown<br />
In order to protect you from spammers and email harvesters your email link does not show or link to your actual email address. A contact form is used and at no time is your email address available to the sender. </p>
<p>Even if a registered member has not made his email link available, another registered member can send a Private Message to this person by clicking on the members username next to his message, then you will see another link &quot;Personal message to (username)&quot;. This is providing the member has &quot;Accept personal messages&quot; set to yes.</p>
