2 questions:

when someone becomes a friend, it seems posts are seen by everyone looking at one's profile page? so how private is that?

last week i was asking about adding a signature to my profile, and it was suggested that i send a PM to one of the administrators. how do i do that?

thank you, sambacat

At the top of the page you will see your username and then next to it a link to "Inbox". Click on the inbox and then in there you can send a new PM message. One alternative is to go to the Admin or Mod's page and click the "Send Message" link.

As for you privacy question, I just want to understand, are you worried that anyone can pull up a list of your posts? That is something that has been in the feature list for a very long time. It kind of goes a long with "if you don't want it seen, don't post it.". The posts here are for everyone to learn from, not for only one person to see.

If I didn't answer your question, please let me know.

Regards,

Jeff

As I understand it, she's not talking about posts but visitor messages. Indeed, these are not private, but they're different from PMs. So send a PM to someone, follow the instructions Jeff gave you or go to the persons profile, click on the ">>" Symbol and choose "Contact Info". There you can "Send a private message to <username>".

Greetings,
Nepomuk

I want to do the following: 1) Generate a certificate to the system store. 2) Export the certificate from 1) to a file with only the public key, and then import the file as a certificate into the system store, but on another computer. 3) Export the certificate from...

Public Private Key Pairs - How do they work? ----------------------------------------------- I was looking at a presentation recently in which it was suggested that - User 1 Encrypts a message using User 2's Public Key.

I have a POD type with a private destructor. There are a whole hierarchy of derived POD types, all meant to be freed using a public member function Destroy in the base class. I get warning C4624.

I am having a perplexing issue and am wondering if anyone can see the flaw in my setup. I have 3 windows services and 3 message queues. Each service resides in the same directory and they all have a reference to the same dll(a private assembly (although it does have a strong key)). The class in this assembly takes the name of the message queue to monitor in its constructor. Then the instantiated class constantly reads the queue (MSMQ...

Can someone help with the following problem. I am sending an encrypted SOAP message to a .NET 2.0 + WSE 3.0 web service.

I have followed the instructions in the error message and given the userid full access to the certificate. I have also tried running .NET under my administrators userid which was used to create the...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
