Now you can post to any user's board. This is considered a "direct message". There is a checkbox to make it private, which makes it a "private message". Only the sender and receiver will be able to see the private message. Anyone can see public direct messages. There is a new link at the top of the page for you to easily see all messages sent to you.

Also, you can now set the privacy for an entire message board. Click on Manage link at the top of one of your boards to see the settings:

• Public: Anyone can see and post to this board.
• Protected: Anyone can see & comment, but only you can post.
• Private: Only approved subscribers can see & post.
