No more private messages on the forums?

Any reason?

I noticed that too. Also, when you click 'View Public Profile', do you also get the same message of hatred as I get (see attachment)?

Ya, I get the same thing when I try to view your public profile. As for the private messages, it looks like they moved that functionality over to the community site rather than the forums.

That makes sense but what doesn't make sense is there's no easy way to PM someone from the forums. Haven't played around with the new site much yet but at a glance it seems the only way to PM someone is to cut and paste a screen name from the boards to the composition screen on the community site. Or maybe you can PM someone who's added to your friends list but that means I have to add everyone I want to shoot a PM to (if that is the case). If either of my thoughts are correct, it's still a highly inefficient way for users to communicate.

Hopefully when they resolve their bigger 0day freak-outs(I work in IT and realize how much of a pain migrations can be), we'll get a more user friendly PM integration.

Again, I haven't tried to PM with the above methods, I'm just thinking options that might work.
