    OK - when I'm in a thread and want to respond to someone by PM, I typically click on their screen name next to their post, and a box opens up with choices like "see more posts from user..." "see threads started by user...." or the one I use the most "Send PM to user....."

    However, most of the time, I click on the user's name and nothing opens up. I can't tell what it is for sure, but maybe the box only opens on that user's first post in any given thread.

    What gives?

    sounds like your browser isnt finishing loading the page. do a force refresh ctrl + f5. that should fix it, or just reboot your machine.

    the username thing works fine for me, i use it all the time as well.

    I'm going to try it...I haven't noticed that I had to click on their first post though. Now, I just add anyone to my bd list and I can shoot em a PM from the home page. BRB

    Maybe it's my browser - but it doesn't happen on other sites using vbulletin, and I just did a normal and a ctrl f5 refresh - no improvement.

    Well then....I have IE at work here and never hated it more until I got firefox. If I could download it here I would. But it's not that. It works fine for me here using IE so I guess you two are just ass hats. lol.

    I just tested this on Firefox, IE 7.0, Safari all seem to work fine... I dunno matt. It could be the page hasn't finished loading and I am trying to slim down the bandwidth requirement maybe that will help out.

    Use the button on the LEFT side of the mouse. The right button won't do it.

    That smilie is more like YOU crying a river, when that 6 year old girl you allegedly scared comes back with her 8 year old brother, and he jacks your car and leaves you lying in the gutter.


    that is all.

    My bad. Didn't realize you'd already been jacked by an 8 year old and left in the gutter.

    Didn't mean for the comment to be so intensely personal to you.

    My bad.
