What am I missing here LOL.

I scroll down to the bottom of the forum and notice people post onto someone's profile, which in many times is a question directly to that person that now anyone can see LOL.

Why not post in a thread or DM the person instead LOL.

I am sure some people have missed a conversation intended for them because someone posted a question to their profile and not by DM....

Yeah, I noticed that a while back also. They're just new, I guess, and eventually they'll get the hang of it. :cool:

I've wondered the same thing. And why the forum shows us those. Another forum that I visit uses the same software and does the same so must be how it's set up to work.

People that do not understand how a forum works? What's not to get?

That "last viewing member" notation seems to happen if you even mouse over the name and a pop of the profile shows on your screen.
