on a msg board when you send & receive a PM is that stored on the server. Or is it stored on your HD ?
Now an admin question. Do you have access to members PM's . Not that you would but say for example you wanted to mess with me can you access and delete or change my PM' S ?

Server -- your hard drive isn't even involved. And site administrators can mess with any PM or message on the site.
NU troubles?

I've admin'd several boards and as a general rule, no you can't see PM's. That said there are hacks (add on's) that can be used with some board software that will allow admins to view PM's. It'll depend on how honest and savvy your admin is.
There'll usually be clues as to their access. Unexplained bannings, minor stalkings or vanishing PM's for instance.

That is why I noted it is site admins (maybe I should have been clearer: site owners) who have that ability. I am pretty sure normal admins don't have that capability, except maybe at FR.

On another board I frequented a few years ago, the board owner was reading PM's and then banning people as a result. Of course like Randy said, it all depends on the software and motivations of those in charge. As a mod here, I cannot see anyone's PM's.

Little did you know we have 2-way posting -- if you can see the board, the board can see you.
Hey, you promised you would at least have underwear on!

vBulletin software is a favorite among admins who wish to be able to read their member's PMs.
Jus' sayn :uhsure:
