No Send PM Buton On Self Profile
Hi,

This is just a suggestion, though i do not use GF.

Upon Clicking on a user the user profile is shown with buttons at the bottom.

Suppose a user clicks on his / her own profile.

Shouldn't it be so that the "Send Private Message" button should not be there. Why should a user ever send a PM to Him/Herself.....

Thnx

Anup

When setting up my board and checking mods to the PM section, I sent myself several to test with.

Other people might just be lonely and need to send themselves messages Cool

Hi,

It was just an extension of how GM works. A user cannot send a mail to oneself which is perfect. I thought of putting it down for GT staff to think about the same and have the same for Forum too. No PM's to oneself.....

As for having a curative effect on "Lonely" feeling.....hmmm there could always be better alternatives.Wink

Being able to send yourself a message is a very useful feature. It enables new users to test out the functionality, and see how their message "inbox" looks when it has messages rather than actually having to send a private message to anyone in particular, or, worse, signing up with a second account just to test it out.
