When a post does not add to the topic under discussion, but engages more in socializing, joking, or off-topic discussions, be aware that your post is at risk of deletion by a moderator to clean and re-focus the thread. Usually these off-topic posts are better handled as a private message to the poster. To make this easier for members I have added a new 'SendPM' button at the bottom of every post. By clicking this button, a new browser window will open to the "Send New Private Message" window already addressed to the poster.
Since this may increase the PM traffic I have increased the PM count to 50 for all regular members. Members of the highly esteemed
Toe Club will continue to have 120 as their limit.
