Instant Messaging

  Does FC let us instant message or send a private email to another user?

Not trying to promote anything, just asking because some sites let you do this. 

Thanks,
Terry

This one doesn't, unless you establish a communication channel outside the program like Skype or a common community.

  oldbuddy, Thanks. I saw someone I knew and was trying to email them and that is why I was asking.

Yes it would be a cool feature but as you can imagine, many people would abuse it and just spam other members.. Just the way things go too often.

You might try doing a Google search on their username.

That would be simple to control with clear terms policed by suspensions and terminations.

Why not put it in your email signature that way every email that you send out everyone would have a chance to see it, to me that is a creative way of adversting.

No i don't believe it does.

It would be nice to be able to contact one another.  I know. I know.  People do abuse this kind of feature, but I feel like I've gotten to know many different people here after spending hours reading their posts on the forum.  It's just natural that I would "click" with some people and want to reach out with a personal message to them.  But we do at least have the forum to provide our comments. I've never seen another site with such an active, positive forum.

It's not as hard as some think it is, at least for people who are active online and get noticed by Google.

I think it would be nice too! It would be like a new social network! People could help each other out on here and get to know each other better!

How about a chat box, would something like that work here?
