User to User Messaging

User to user messaging is a feature that you can enable through the site's setting. Please refer to TubeStudio Sites Configuration on how to enable or disable user to user messaging. A user can message other users and it will show up like an instant message except it is using messaging. An example of user to user messaging:

• A user can see a list of their conversations with other users by clicking "View Messages(#)" which is under Members Area.
  • The number in parenthesis is how many new messages the member has.
• To view the actual conversation with the other users, click on the username or the subject and it will take you to the conversation.
  • The users can change the subject by replying to the message with the new subject and the body. The subject in the list of conversations will show the most recent subject.

User Profiles

Here is an example of user profile:

The profile page shows: friends,the videos you have loaded, your favorite videos, and comments from other users or guests.
