Private Messages

Hey Paul;

Any time I can click on a link on a user's name, I can open a window to their profile, and from there, I can send a PM

At the top of the message board where I can see that I'm logged in with my name displayed, it tells me about messages. If I open that, I have an opportunity to compose messages from there.

Or, at the top right of the message board is a "Members" tab. Clicking on that opens a directory to registered users, and I can do a search on someone's name from there. Once I have a user's profile page, I can send a pm.

I do see that I have a pm from you, so you must have found it earlier. I have sent a response.

Tim, please be way more careful with your recommended websites. Photoscape.org cost me a lot of time plus $63 to have my PC Posse guy to fix stuff. Kaspersky does nothing and their US rep - Best Buy's Geek Squad just wants to charge $199. My PC Posse guy says McAfee does not do anything either. So be careful - some would be very pissed at you. Thank you for your work though - I am sure you are have a challenge on your hands.

As I addressed in my pm to you, I'm sorry to hear that you've had difficulty after installing Photoscape. I have Photoscape installed on 3 of my computers and have no issues with the program.

Since I heard from you, I've continued reading different reviews regarding Photoscape and malware/adware, and it appears that the problem is NOT with Photoscape, but instead is related to the chosen download installer. Here's some text that may shed some light on your experience and what may be similar to what could have happened for you. I have been "tricked" in the past to accept bundles attached to software because I was in a hurry and didn't pay attention to exactly what I was agreeing to.

What is Photoscape Packages?
Warning, this is not part of Photoscape. This is an adware bundle distributed through the EzDownloaderPro download manager. These packages are ad-supported that include the original program as well as the included advertiser software, mostly web browser extensions for search and coupons.

Form EzDownloader - "The downloader manages the entire download process of your software from start to finish. If any offers are accepted,the download manager will include a bundle uninstaller (named "[downloadname] Packages") that will help uninstall all the offers that were included with the download as a group instead of individually. We're able to offer free software because we are advertiser supported. When you download software, it gives our advertisers a chance to speak to you."

I've added a comment in the FAQ post regarding uploading attachments to encourage interested people to be careful when downloading programs and pay attention to everything they are accepting during the download.

Thanks for the heads up.
