    I'm not sure it is. I see a small window down the RHS of the screen displaying some things that I would've thought were private.
    If a conversation isn't private is it possible to send a PM to another member via this forum?

    PMs are private, although I suspect mods have access to them for the purpose of monitoring harassment etc.

    Perhaps @sps170373 could elaborate?

    'Conversations' ARE a PM and applies as above: supposedly private etc;)

    The messages you see on the home page are 'Status Updates' and not for the general purpose of messages. I have just posted a status update:).

    I think some people accidentally post messages in the status update for people thinking it's a pm is that what you mean Kev?

    Those are just profile posts, they are public.

    Damn all the other responses. That's like me saying I have something really important to say, but not in public :D
    I was going to say, "No, now post your beef on here so we can all see".

    TBH @Lozzy I'm not sure. Given Nigel's pic post on here. But I'm not sure why some would post personal stuff in a status update. Have you still got..., how much is... etc etc

    That was a mistaken PM I guess. It was in response to this post:
    https://www.1000rr.co.uk/threads/front-fork-crash-protectors.37424/

    I think it's only because some new members do not understand forum 'mechanics' or they're just in too much of a haste to get a message out.
