On one of my other interest boards, there is a feature that allows you to send a "private message" to the poster.
I think this could be fun to add here.  When I see someone posting a tasting report on one of my wines, frequently I'd like to ask the person a little more about his experience with that wine.  Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I could not find an easy way to accomplish this with CT as it's now set up.

Hi Eric,

There is on this board, see the PM logo at the very left at the bottom of each post.

But here you seem to be talking about messaging users not of this forum but of the CT database itself and that is frequently asked for (search the forum) but  is not currently possible.

You have made me understand the difference here, as the tasting notes are not a "discussion forum".
Yet, it would be an awesome feature I think. 
Perhaps it could be set up only for registered CT members?  Though that probably is not a simplification of the problem that Eric faces in setting that up.

Status: offline 		When I relaunch the site later this summer is one of the new features I have already implemented. If you look in the teaser screenshot you can see some relevant links:



Authors will b able to opt out if they are not interested in seeing comments. This will feel somewhat more like a blog, although I will do somethings to give it a discussion thread feel as well--integrated directly with each note.

You are awesome!
What you have done is actually more than I was suggesting - as you say, kind of bloggish.  But I'm totally for this solution as it opens the discussion to the whole community of CT, not just 1-on-1 as would be for PMs.
I will look into the new features so that I can limit my un-educated postings!
Thanks again.
- Denis
ps, Just a thought (I will do my homework on your new CT format), I hope the new version retains the chronological listing of all tasting notes of wines in my cellar.  Every time I log on, I look immediately at that list.

There is nothing to look into yet--I have not been very forthcoming with details of the new UI as yet.

we might find it a little tricky to find first time round, but it still has our #1 wine inside!
