I think it was turned off - it's bad anyways because spammers go through it, harvest the user names, and then mass pm spam.

Here are some of the new features:

Friends List (http://www.modeltrainforum.com/profile.php?do=buddylist): This was in the old version of the forum too, but no one used it... Now your friends are displayed right on your profile...

Social Groups (http://www.modeltrainforum.com/group.php): They are like mini clubs that you can join on the site where you can chat... I made an O scale one for those who are interested...

Picture Albums (http://www.modeltrainforum.com/album.php): Yes, we have a gallery, but these albums are accessed from your profile and have nothing to do with the gallery...

Visitor Messages: You can now post comments on people's profile...

Thread Tags (http://www.modeltrainforum.com/tags.php): Threads can be "tagged" with key words... This is just another way to search the forum... You can enter tags in the "Tags" section below the last post of a thread by hitting "Edit Tags"...
