Quoting ♥ Shannon ♥:“ So, aside from the fact that it would be easier for them to "find" my profile here, there is no benefit to their PT'ing me unless I've PT'd them back? I hope that made sense. lol  ”

well, the biggest benefit to PT-ing someone is that you can find it in the forums easier.

that's sort of the idea behind it in the first place, that you recognize you like/trust/respect someone so you can make that first contact openly w/out concern for being rejected or having that level of seriousness associated w/ a "friend request" as in FB and myspace...

so you'll then be able to filter your entire PT's topic once you're on the forums to find them.

after that, it's about the reciprocal nature of the relationship, obviously and that's where the one-sided benefits end and being PT-friends begins.

? PT only posts? it should be, if youre in the group and unlocked it.... open a NWE post, any forum, and at the bottom of it BEFORE you post it, you should be able to change it from the default "public" setting to "my PT only"

lmao, i read so gud   sorry, i didnt pay close enough attention to the title  

The OP says this feature is not available yet....they are working out the kinks

I would love to see this. If you dont feel like any other person to know something you can just chose to have a group convo... I feel like this is a great idea..

Quoting Addisons Momma (TKOM):“ overall, Im loving the new features that are being worked on a nd being tested- my concern with PT only ... [snip!] ... dont get to meet them. I know they have the choice to make it PT private or not, but I think itll be mostly used that way......”

I agree. I think that in some ways this feature will be good, like if you only feel comfortable talking to a few people about something personal,but I also think it will keep people from meeting.

I think its a great idea Mara!! I can't wait to be able to use it!!  !! On my way to unlimited inbox... whoooohooo!! I wanna be an op bad!  

Quoting Monica♥ツ:“ Instead of PT group PMs could we do PT group topics? I think that would be more beneficial than the PMs ... [snip!] ... current PT only topics I think people would be afraid to add new friends in fear of them reading their super private topics.”

That sounds like an excellent idea.
