<p>What is the difference between visitor messages and PM’s on this site? While I’ve long known about PM’s, today I discovered 15 visitor messages and I hadn’t even realized there was this other venue. Sincere apologies to all who think I ignored them!</p>
<p>Thank you, hmom5. I thought I was the only one who couldn’t figure it out! I felt like such a dummy when I got the visitor message screen instead of the normal PM setup.</p>
<p>What IS the difference?</p>
<p>Ha…I just discovered all these visitor messages too that I did not know were there.</p>
<p>And same here…they must all think I ignored them but I never noticed them until i read your post here and went to look.</p>
<p>Well, for one thing, everyone can see your Visitor Messages and the replies. They are not private. Be careful what you reveal. Identities of posters and their kids have been revealed through visitor messages that the writers thought were private.</p>
<p>Where are the visitor messages? Either I have none or I still don’t know where to find them.</p>
<p>Click on your own user name.
(you don’t have any)
;)</p>
<p>I just found one too, not 15.</p>
<p>Awwww, I don’t have any. Does this mean I’m unpopular? :(</p>
<p>I just clicked on everybody’s name and nobody has any visitor messages. Are they all gone now?</p>
<p>It’s not a feature many of us use. (at least that’s my read on it)</p>
<p>None for me either. How depressing. :(</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>Wonder why the option of the visitor messages? How is it more beneficial than PM’s???</p>
<p>I’ve been told that my friends list is empty. That explains a lot about the sad state of my life. :)</p>
<p>Popular? Well, depends on your definition! The VM that stood out most was the one telling me just how much the sender disagreed with my posts:)</p>
<p>Still so much to learn about CC! I never knew about VMs --but I guess it doesn’t matter since I don’t have any. (sigh)</p>
<p>Hello all!</p>
<p>I took a several month hiatus from CC when I realized I was spending WAY too much time in my home office reading posts. Now I stop back for a day to check and see what’s up and I find out that I, too, have no friends - therefore no visitors -and presumably nobody missed me while I was gone.</p>
<p>Anyway - good to see some familiar names and know that unlike ER it will continue to go on!</p>
<p>I got one visitor message. I wondered if it was from someone who is not signed in, therefore, just a “visitor” to the site?</p>
<p>Are there friends too? I’m just not getting this!</p>
<p>ellemenope, my friends list is empty too, AND I’m told I’m not a member of any group, AND I have no messages. Sigh. Ignorance was bliss…</p>
