The old forum had option to PM anyone even if you are following him/her OR vice versa OR he/she is not your friend. Can we've that option back. TIA

Second that. I don't think it makes sense to make someone follow or friend someone else just to PM them. Too facebookish. Is there ANY reason to force something like that? Seams like they are completely different ideas. It's just more crap you have to go through. Keep it simple.
We would like to hear from others as the purpose of this setting is so you don't get spammed by people you may not know.

Was that a problem? I don't often PM anyone, but it was much more convenient before.
I never got spammed with a PM. Sometimes I like to PM so I am not hijacking a post or to avoid starting a rant. I do not PM much at all but the couple of times that I have wanted to I could not because I was not connected to that person.
Maybe a better way to handle unwanted PMs is allow the user to block someone if that is possible.
I was never spammed in the old PM either. I did occasionally receive messages from people I didn't know, but they were asking legit questions and not bothersome.
While we are discussing the PM system, is it possible to give us access to our old PM's?
This setting has been changed. You can private message someone who is not your friend.
We cannot access old PM's.
Thanks
Thanks, Greg! Not that I was ever spammed myself either with the old system, but is there a setting where anyone could block specific users? That might help nip that potential problem in the bud.
Thanks, Greg. We actually have a business purpose for this as well. I meant to ask you about it.
