1. The first thing is, I have spent a bit of time on providing meaningful messages depending on where you are in the application, and the status of the user.

2. Receiving a message from Pamela. A full coloured icon means an unread message.

3. Sounds like Pamela is interested!

4. You now have the ability to quote messages back - so it feels more like a forum application, and a conversation too! There are advanced options for display, and for keeping track of messages in your outbox. There is also preventative measures for cross site scripting attacks.

5. Again - a friendly message.

6. The outbox can show your “archived“ messages.

7. A simple to use 'Find User' screen - this links from the Send A Message screen.

8. There are also preferences for each user, at the moment you can designate to be notified via email when a message arrives for you. This is great for pulling people back into your site.

9. A message arriving in email.
