Control Panel Issues
This is really more of a peeve than a problem .... but...
When you click on My Flyertalk... your control panel displays
Your Profile
Networking
Settings and Options
Private Messages
Subscribed Threads
Miscellaneous
<etc>
... in that order. If there was a way to easily change the order of that display... I'd really prefer to have Private Messages be in the first 2. In its current position, it drops below the fold on my laptop and I have to scroll down every time I want to send PM. I use that feature much more often than any of the others.
If it were my kingdom, I'd put PM's, followed by Networking, followed by Profile

I see your point and don't understand why the option we had previously has disappeared with the new version of vB. Something I'll look in on now that i've had a chance to look over what the upgrade had done or hasn't done for us. If I recall, formerly one could send a PM via the arrow which now contains "Your Notifications" in the upper right hand corner of the use area near the "Welcome, missydarlin."
A good point and something I'll add to the list of things we need to review. Thanks.

FWIW, I never realized there was a private messages link buried all the way in the control panel. I always just use the Your Messages (now Your Notifications) link in the upper right-hand corner of every page. Much quicker.
