Sometimes the forum is a bit too public - like if you want to plan a trip to that quiet beach or talk about your plans for world domination.

If you want to keep the chat private you can contact people by clicking contact on their personal page, and your message will get emailed to them. If you want to try it out, bug Sam.

By default your contact form is turned off. If you want people to be able to get you, goto your personal page, click edit (at the top) and tick "Personal contact form" (at the bottom) - voilla - you should be all set!
