Visitor Messages can be read by any member of NeuroTalk. Not just people on your friends list.

Please be safe and not post personal information on your own or other Visitor Messages.

(email addy, home address, phone number, real name...)

[Chemar]

just to clarify for some who seem confused on this
that this refers to Visitor Messages left on profiles

this is *not* the private messages (PMs) which only you can see

[SandyC]

Now your going to make me go look at what I have on my profile messages. lol

[Curious]

LOL, Sandy, I should go post one fast.

Part of the confusion is people thinking they are set up like private myspace's. Where only your friends can reply or see your "page".

We tend to not realize that it says Public Profile.

I just want the members to be safe.



BTW, you can set your options to not allow Visitor Messages. You can also delete them after you read them.

[Blessings2You]

I'm glad you mentioned that we CAN delete them. I didn't realize that. Not that anybody ever posted anything I didn't want the world to see, but it's good to know you can do that. Thanks.

[Doody]

And of course I am once again in the center of the reason for the post, LMAO!

more info-

Members are are responsible for managing their profile visitor messages.
Deleting after you read is an easy way or after a page is full.

{many pages of messages is very time consuming to delete }

Users can choose to turn off visitor messages if they don't want them:

I couldn't sleep. I came back here to figure out the Visitor message system. I did some searches and came up with this old thread. I was away too long. I didn't really understand how it all works.

Does anyone else think it's a really important feature to highlight somewhere in the FAQ? Did I miss something when I returned?

I did read the FAQ, but I either missed it or didn't understand it. New visitors or (like me) returning members might appreciate some guidance

Thanks for all you do.

Edited to add: FAQ contains too much typed information.
It needs to be compressed.
